Art Davis

Art Davis is a composer, improviser, fingerstyle guitarist, and pianist living in the Texas Hill Country just outside of Austin.

His music reflects a wide range of musical experiences, from solo guitar and piano to folk to orchestral minimalism to ambient electronica to jazz. Art’s musical direction in the last few years has been to simplify and create “quiet music for loud times”. He likes for his music to unfold at a pace that allows the listener time to relax, daydream, and mindfully experience their emotional reaction to the music.

Art holds a Bachelor of Music in Composition from North Texas State University focusing on Analog Electronic Music and Intermedia studying with Larry Austin. He continued his studies in the graduate program as a teaching assistant to Phil Winsor and taught the Graduate Seminar in Computer Music.
