Ian Marquis  Hey, thank you! I'm currently trying to wrap up work on my next album. I'm hoping it'll be done by this summer. If you're curious, I keep an up-to-date set of songs at http://ianmarquismusic.com/album/faces-from-the-static-2013-wip. I'll be putting the new set on FF once it's done, of course :)

Also, I'd love to hear what you're up to! -Ian  (Apr 29, 2013, 10:15 PDT)

s.a. zober  Awesome! Things are pretty good on my end. Going well, but slow...  (Apr 29, 2013, 12:52 PDT)

Kode of Bliss  Hmm, not sure if sounding like a telephone is exactly what I was looking for, of course I am not sure what I was looking for as I was just playing around. I don't think I am going to tweak this track any more, perhaps down the line I might. Thanks for the feedback.  (Dec 28, 2012, 12:11 PST)

s.a. zober  It's actually very cool. That was just sort of the imagery of the piece. Gabrielle liked it, too! She has the telephone imagery, and meant it in a good way/says she doesn't know music lingo, but thought the tone of the song was interesting!!! -S  (Dec 30, 2012, 09:40 PST)

Ian Marquis  Hey, thank you! I did a LOT of stereo tricks with this mix: jumping pans, phasing and flanging, layers, and whatever else I could think of. This track sat around on my computer for a while, unfinished, before I finally wrapped it up back when I was finishing The Man Forgotten. It was the first song I started, but one of the last I completed.

Lately, I've been taking a little break from songwriting and production to get a fresh perspective and decompress. I'm hoping to really do a big marketing push this winter.

Take it easy!

s.a. zober  "I've been taking a little break from songwriting and production to
get a fresh perspective and decompress." Sounds like a plan! We should collaborate, here are some tunes from a band of mine: http://www.feed-forward.net/walawalawala  (Oct 26, 2012, 11:51 PDT)

Ian Marquis  Hey, thank you again! With the vocals, I had some really good luck this time layering a couple of takes with a fairly deep reverb, plus using one that was hard-tuned paired with another more raw take - it gives them a thick sound that stood out well, I think. Glad you enjoyed it!  (Aug 05, 2012, 08:27 PDT)

s.a. zober  I did. Thanks for the insights. As you know, I'm a singer myself, so I'm always looking for little techniques to get better recordings. -s  (Aug 05, 2012, 08:32 PDT)

Ian Marquis  Thank you! I'm stoked that you like the sound. It's absolutely all me. You can grab the entire album and more at www.ianmarquismusic.com, if you're interested.  (Aug 02, 2012, 04:51 PDT)

Bojko  cool thanks I'll download it for sure  (Aug 12, 2012, 12:36 PDT)

Ian Marquis  Thanks, man. I've been working lately on getting some local stations to play my stuff on their indie blocks. WTOS is going to drop one of the songs next week, and a tiny station in Rockland played a song last week. It's slow going, but every bit counts. No live shows yet, but I am considering forming a band if I ever find the time.  (Jul 19, 2012, 04:55 PDT)

s.a. zober  Cool. Keep pushing with the local stations. IT's a headache, I know, but keep pushing. I promise you your suff is ready to break, but you've got to make sure to get it out there to these local stations. If possible, visit in person. The college stations, too. You've put in the work on composition and recording, the last push is often the hardest, but keep pushing!!!  (Jul 19, 2012, 05:17 PDT)

Ian Marquis  Hey, thanks! I haven't had a chance to do as much promotion as I'd like lately, but I am gearing up for a new round of sending the CD out to as many people as possible. Recently, I've been doing a lot of promo on reddit.  (Jul 06, 2012, 09:59 PDT)

s.a. zober  Cool :D Promo here too! Cheaper than Reddit!!!  (Jul 06, 2012, 12:26 PDT)

Ian Marquis  Glad you like the sound! :)  (Jul 06, 2012, 10:01 PDT)
