Current Projects:
I have launched a new website called Dan Kaufman's Music Lair , which will host 45 original songs that I have done over the years, my youtube videos (updated pending a camcorder), photos of my previous bands, a information (biography) page, and ton's of other interesting things yet to come! This is worth checking out, and it's completely free for media downloads. I will set a paypal donation box for those you would like to throw a dollar in the hat :)
I'm very grateful for my friend Ty hosting this site on his parent site harshstar.com ; it's made a huge difference in what I can showcase for ya.

Purple Sage, Center Stage (2000)

The Fluorescent Mindset Project (2001)
This was a project were I incorporated drum programming in FruityLoops and used Acid Pro 4.0 to record a ten-song album of personal songs that sounded like a mix between techno-rock-and sebekan folkiness. It's still a favorite of mine.
Ben and Dan on the last day of school (2002)
(Recording where me (acoustic guitar) and my good friend Ben (elec. guitar)played some covers and original tunes, onto a digital 4-track, then mixed in percussion, very laid back and folky)
Endless Summer (2004)
Individual compositions on acoustic, with misc. perc. and vocals, a good album that you can sleep easy to.
The Fall of the Filthy Philharmonic (2005)
This is an album where I worked with Brett (drums) and Mike (bass) to really get a blues-ish rock album. Initally the band was Filthy Phil, with the addition of Matt, and prior to that it was Dr. Claw and the Madcatz, which included both Matt and Chris. These groups progressed by creating a new style and feel to earlier roots of my compositions. They also collectively played a shit ton of free shows on Foxe's open mic nights, and also at Elk's Lodge that is way the hell up in North Fargo. At the tail end of our career in group, we played on the The Dam Rock Station's 1.047 Boneyard Tour traveling to play at Grand Forks townsquare, the Fargo VFW, and DL's Corner Cantina. A lot of crazy shit went down, and some bad memories still echo to this day.
Yet, at the tail end of the group's career we recorded this album, which is somewhat tainted due to band issues. However, it truly represents what we were trying to do, and is perhaps the finest album I ever participated on to this date.
Filmography
"Dead On" (2004) by Megan Vaughn, a meta-film about a zombie flick, shot on 18 1/2 of Moorhead. The Filthy Philharmonic recorded acoustic works, as well as piano solos for the movie. It went on to be shown at the Fargo Theatre's "Midnight Movie" night right before Night of the Living Dead. The film also showcases me, a traveling zombie guitarist, and a bunch of other zombies attacking a victim in the chill of winter.
"Edge of the World" (2005) by Julie Johnson, a western movie about a traveling salesmen who falls in love with the farmer's daughter, only to duel with her boyfriend, and reveal that he sells souls. Acoustic Guitar and Piano. The film went on the win the first stage of the 48-hour movie competition, and was done without the aid of video to score to.
"White Out" (2006) by Zach Marion, a film about the strange occurences of murder that had once plagued North Dakota. It is experimental in parts symbolizing altercations, and features a nice ballad at the end. I liked this film, because it was the first time I could score to video, which makes the creative process that much easier. This film was showcased in the Fargo Film Festival's 2-minute movie competition, but failed to beat humorous "Big Gulp" commercial that won the competition.
"Library Rose" a film w/ Tom aka. Insomniac, one of my Myspace friends and fellow 18 fitty' homey. It's a light-hearted comedic film about a librarian falling head over heels with a girl who frequents the library. It has a dream sequence, and has coffee scenes. I'm going to really get into this. Fun Fun. By the way this film will be submitted into the fargo film festival and as well as the Forks Film Festival.
"Teddy Bear Picnic" a film for the 48 hour film competition, produced by Zach Marion.
