Art Lessing was started in 2001. The music is the creation of Dan Quillan. There are no rules or boxes to fit in with Art Lessing. From aural wanderings, to pop songs, to noise, to modern-comp, the spectrum is covered in any one of the ten releases available by direct contact mail-order. He has drawn influence from Faust, Can, Residents, Stooges, Martin Denny, Syd Barret, Chet Atkins, and anything else that is similar. The project is the brain child of one person, however during a live performance he is accompanied by long time friend Larry Rodriguez. Larry's moniker is "The Flower Vato." The duo plays live as Art Lessing and The Flower Vato. The live set consists of Art Lessing songs as well as experimental improvisational sound-scapes, and songs written as a collaboration of ideas between the two.
