Hello, my name is Dan Hutt and I am a grad student and college instructor in English (and sometimes Spanish), specializing in cultural studies and theory (especially of the 1960s) world lit and film (especially Indian), and 20th Century American and British lit. I am also an enthusiast, home recordist, and performer of vocal harmonies-based, cinematic, psychedelic-pop music. My collective artistic/literary influences might start with Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks/the Beach Boys, the Beatles, Salman Rushdie, John Sayles, Inara George, Marx, Richard Rorty, Hermann Hesse, Bob Beadell jr., The/Return, etc. You could say I'm a student of the 60s in general, although I was only on the planet that decade for a little over ten months. I'm proud to say I'm a student of Drs. Les Whipp and Dean Hall. I have two cats, Jules and Matt, whom I adore, and I love old records, books, magazines, films, antiques, etc. Spicy food and spy films too. The knobs, dials, and levers on vintage hi-fi equipment mesmerize me and it's a happy day each month when I get the next issue of Mojo. I'm an amateur overhead projectionist, and someday I hope to ride in a hot air balloon. For the present, I spend about 4 days a year in Savannah, GA, and the other 361 missing it dearly.  Here on the Dan Hutt Field Recordings website, I operate outside the free market economy and inside the free art antiquarium, where I release my music and writing, all under coffee-write protection on my own Pop! Dirigible Records vanity label. If you spot something shiny, you may acquire it; your interest (and clicking the water below) feeds the fish!

Thanks for visiting my site.
