"Phone Call To Infinity" article in my local newspaper: The Evanston RoundTable! How cool is that?

Natalie Wainwright from Evanstons' RoundTable (local newspaper) wrote an amazing article about my latest release "Phone Call To Infinity".

I can't describe how wonderful I felt after reading this!

Thank you Natalie so very, very much!

Love to all,

Ian

Finishing touches...

"Phone Call To Infinity" is nearing completion. Currently my wife and I are working on the CD jacket design while Tim (sound engineer/co-producer) is working on mastering the 3 - song EP. I plan on having the physical EP for sale on my website (ianmusic.com), some time next week. I plan to have both the physical EP and digital EP/individual songs for sale on CD Baby and iTunes by the end of the month.

Crazy-ass times!!!  :~P

Happy Holiday's everyone!

"Behind The Dawn" completed

Song 3 entitled "Behind The Dawn" was waxed and polished on Sunday. I recorded the drums, keys and vocals last on Sunday, November 14th, Erik laid down the bass track Wednesday, November 17th, Dave added his magic guitar playing (electric and acoustic) Thursday, November 18th and Tim and I mixed down and mastered the song Sunday, November 21st (Tim is absolutely amazing at what he does!). Now that all three songs ("Absent Today", "Five Below Nothing", and "Behind The Dawn") are finished, it's time to get this music out to the masses! My goal is to have my 3 song EP (not titled as of yet) released on my web site (www.ianmusic.com), CDBaby and iTunes either the second, or third week in December. I have yet to take the photo that will set the overall theme to this EP and my wife and I need some time to get all the graphics laid out, but, as always, we will get to it.

The HD video will have to wait as my PC (named "Bad Ass") took a dive. My new PC parts arrive Friday and I should have "Bad Ass II" (wow, how original!) built the same day. So, this weekend may be a video editing extravaganza! This would be perfect seeing that Chicago may have its first weekend covered in snow with high's this coming Friday in the 20's (we were in the 60's yesterday with tornadoes nearby!) Welcome to Chicago's winter! I love it! :~)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

New song to be recorded next week!

Just to keep you all informed....

My website was down temporarily for maintenance purposes. All is good now!

I will be in the studio starting next week. I will have song 3 (yet to be titled) completed by the end of this month.

I will be releasing a 3 - song EP (yes, CD and all the fancy photography) mid to late next month. The three individual songs will also be available on iTunes and CDBaby.

Also, I will be previewing my "Five Below Nothing: The Creation Process" HD video late this month on my site.

Lots and lots to do! :~P

Three song EP to be released mid December

A slight change in plan. My latest song which was completed last week entitled "Five Below Nothing" will not be released until mid December. It will be placed along side my recently released song "Absent Today" and my third song (to be recorded in mid November) and all will be released as one, big, happy EP. My plan is to print 50 EP CD's and have these available for purchase via my site (ianmusic.com), CDBaby and iTunes. And, like all the releases preceeding, I will be out, camera and all, finding the perfect shot for the cover. My wife and I will be designing the overall graphical theme for the CD and website. As far as digital downloads are concerned; my goal is to have my EP available digitally by mid to late December from the aforementioned sites.

...and there's plenty more where that came from: I have 15 other songs on the back burner! I have 10 hours of in-the-studio HD video which also includes live interviews with Tim, Erik, Dave and myself (I will be editing all this into a documentary some time in the winter) and I plan on releasing another 3 song EP in May 2011. So stay tuned! Let this music take you where you need to be......

Again now, don't forget: mid to late December = 3 song downloadable/physical CD release!

Full of love,

Ian

Song 2: "Five Below Nothing" is nearly complete!

After 3 days in Studio Ballistico having Tim (studio engineer, co-producer and all-around nice guy) record my drums, vocals and keyboards on top of having Erik (bass), Dave (guitar) recording their tracks, and, oh yeah, a videographer shooting the whole recording process in HD; "Five Below Nothing" is nearly finished. This song was quite the challenge!

Available for sale on October 24th via CDBaby, iTunes.

Video will appear on the web further down the road as I am the designated editor.....:~)
