Welcome to the wide, wide world of
TayMusic.net. The label is named for the River Tay in Scotland, but every
element of the name rings true Ð even the suffix "net." In creating the label,
guitarist Kirk Casey cast a wide net, and, with artists as working partners,
has built a collection of musicians, composers Tay encompasses techno and
electronica-based pop and urban hip-hop; contemporary and smooth jazz; folk,
progressive rock and R&B; New Age and world beat; Celtic, Latin, Middle
Eastern, and Indian music.
The operative word is "music," and not
just its creation and enjoyment. For Kirk Casey, TayMusic.net is also about
teaching younger players. Along with his artists, he hopes to forge
partnerships with computer and music equipment companies to grow the label
and, ultimately, form a music education foundation. "We're hoping to create a
faculty and curriculum for online education," he says. In a time when
financially-strapped schools are cutting music and arts classes, he
says. "Online is a great way for us to reintroduce the arts back into
education. It's a way of giving back."
