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.....:~)

Absent Today lyrics

HOLLOWED OUT BETWEEN THE TREES YOU'VE SPOKEN

WALK AWAY FROM ALL YOU'LL EVER NEED

CAVE INTO AN EMPTY GLASS YOU'VE BROKEN

FAR TOO LONG

HERE ALL GONE

BLOWN FAR AWAY

ABSENT TODAY

BEHIND YOURSELF YOU KNOW YOU'RE REALLY THERE

INSIDE YOURSELF YOU KNOW YOU REALLY CARE

WAKE THE NIGHT

FEEL THE FIGHT

GLOW THROUGH THE HAZE

ABSENT TODAY

ALL NOT LOST

ANY COST

REACH FOR A RAY

BALANCE TODAY

:~)

-------------------------------------------------

The lyrics in this song "Absent Today" are screaming to you to look deep inside yourself! Deep within is the true essence of you! The kind, loving being ("Behind yourself you know you're really there. Inside yourself you know you really care.") It's never too late to crack the filaments of the fictitious you - the you you think you are. It's time to delve into yourself and weed out the superfluous crap! Now go "glow through the haze" and find your inner balance!!

New single "Absent Today" released!

Song one of three has been released! "Absent Today" is now available for purchase on CDBaby and iTunes. It took Tim (co-producer/sound engineer), Dave (guitarist), and Erik (bass) and I a good 4 days to record, mix and master. I must say am quite proud of this one!! Everyone did such a fantastic job! My drums didn't require any tuning!!! Seriously! I pulled them out of their cases after over a year (kept them in my storage room) and lo and behold - perfectly tuned! Keyboards were a snap considering I didn't even have to lift a finger. I simply recorded them on my Tascam recorder at home and uploaded them to Tim who then added them to the studio tracks!! Gotta love that!!! I really hope you enjoy "Absent Today"!!! Song number 2 will be ready towards the end of October, so keep an ear out!!!! :~)

New 3 - song EP to be released in December!

On Sunday, August 22nd I will once again be hauling my acoustic Ludwig drumset up 3 flights of stairs (StudioBallistico is one stop short of the stratosphere), to begin my next creative adventure! This will be the day I record the drum tracks, vocals and some other things I can't mention (surprise) for my next 3 - song EP. No title for the EP just yet, however, "Absent Today" will definitely be one of the three songs. The following week will include visits from Erik Swanson (bass), Dave Bowers (guitar) and Tim Sandusky (co-producer, sound engineer and musician). "Absent Today" should be complete by the end of August. I am planning song 2 (completed on keyboard and drums on my home digital recorder) to be recorded at Studio Ballistico in October and song 3 in November. Please visit Posterous, or Blogger for all the latest regarding the upcoming release!
