Jason Hanley glances away as if to reposition himself in the world that now exists between you and him. The Lake Worth composer and musician seems withdrawn behind the counter at Studio 205 or in the adjacent Java Juicebar. He is tall and thin, and he greets customers softly. Hanley has a lot on his mind. The composer-musician has recorded his music under the SoundProofProductions label for about five years. Sound Proof is also the name of his group, which includes other artists who create music and seem to dissolve into other worlds when finished. He calls his music "a provocative raw form of folk-fueled blues and jazz sound." About four years ago, he started to record other artists. About a dozen CDs can be found on the www.soundproofproductions.net Web site, and they are a mix of Hanley's and other artists music. Percussionist and Lake Worth resident Robbie Astrove has worked with Hanley to record tracks to mix with other artists' work. "Jason is supporting local music in a positive way," Astrove said. "The songs have good messages. They bring people together and people realize how wonderful music is for a community." Hanley has recorded many local artists and bands, including flutist Jim Kovalcik and Jack Heideier's three-piece string-and-vocal group, The Onion Band. "A lot of musicians don't know much about technology and don't really want to learn," Hanley said. "They just want to make music." Heideier calls Hanley "a brilliant artist." He said, "Our styles are extremely different but I love what he does." Hanley has lived in Florida for eight years, first settling in Delray Beach and later in Lake Worth. "I moved to Lake Worth because it's more my speed. It feels easier than Delray Beach, and the music scene is better here," he said. Hanley, who is in his early 30s, said his music career fell into place in South Florida. He worked at the Nutrition Cottage in Delray Beach and would play in the back of the store and sell his CDs. Later, he was booked at venues in Palm Beach County, including the Gold Bean Cafe in Jupiter and the Round the World Art Village in West Palm Beach.
