Dan Bailey Music

MUSIC
Although an adventure/travel photographer by trade, Dan actually has a degree in music production and engineering from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Music became an important part of life long before he ever bought his first camera. During elememtary school, he discovered FM rock radio and his uncle's Led Zeppelin records and then while in high school, he discovered the electric guitar, and he's been hooked ever since. When his post high school dreams of becoming a rock star didn't immediately pan out, Dan enrolled at Berklee where he learned the technical crafts and art of music production, 24-track recording and mixing, live sound reinforcement, and audio for film and video. It was while attending Berklee that Dan bought a Nikon FM2 and fell in love with photography. After graduating with his music degree, he did some soul searching and decided to pursue a career that was rooted in his love of the outdoors, instead of a career that would most likely have placed him inside windowless recording studios. Music has continued to remain a vital part of his life and even though he's given up his rock star dreams, his guitars are still an integral creative outlet for him. During the past few years, he's found himself dusting off his production skills and exploring the affordable advancements of digital recording, first with a Boss 8-track machine, and currently with a G5 Power Mac and Apple Logic recording software. The process has been an exciting one for Dan and some of his music has ended up in the soundtracks for his adventure slide show presentations. He plans to continue that process and with the many ideas that circulate in his head, the future is bound to see more projects that combine his photographic imagery with his own recorded music, such as his "Where Do You Find Adventure" commercial.
