What began as one woman’s brush with danger in 1980’s Hollywood becomes a haunting new animated series—Art & Murder.
Conceived, composed, and narrated by Jane McNealy, Art & Murder is an unnerving psychological drama that unfolds through the lens of a composer whose art collides with the darker edges of Hollywood’s creative scene. Set against the backdrop of late-night, glistening streets, Laurel Canyon secrets, and the seductive chaos of Los Angeles, the episodic series features McNealy’s original music recorded during late night jam sessions with her dear friend and mentor Harold Battiste, Jr. Jane’s story is illustrated by Award-winning French artist Julie Flogeac who reimagines the noir tradition where every melody hides a motive.
Lo-Flo Records invites you to join us on our YouTube channel to experience this absorbing mystery as it unfolds.
“The storyline of Art & Murder evolves slowly with the writing of a psychological drama and the changes that you go through. It's a slice of life. My life.” Watch Jane tell the story behind Art & Murder.
“Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? My name is Jane McNealy and I’ve spent most of my life trying to answer this question by doing what I love the most, composing
music and writing.”
“Going through Art & Murder, I got to relive some of the happiest musical moments in my career. Harold and I didn’t always have a chance to jam and improvise together because he was on the road with Sonny and Cher.”
“Art & Murder is what happened to me. I was worried, I was scared. I didn't know if the people I were working for were gonna come after me. I didn't know how many enemies John Holmes had that might be lurking.”
