Ian Marquis

Location: Bangor, Maine
About me: 
I'm a solo musician living in Bangor, Maine. I've been playing guitar for about 8 years now, and seriously writing songs for nearly as long. Three or so years ago, I decided to start singing. I've put out two albums since then, and am working on a third. If I can't do it myself (either by hand or through software), I don't do it. That means I play (or sequence) all my instruments, program my own drums, sing, and do all my own production/mixing. I'm never satisfied with the quality of my music - there's always room for improvement. Having said that, I hope you enjoy what I've done.

All of my songs are available for streaming and download at www.ianmarquismusic.com.

.. Thick as Thieves

s.a. zober gave feedback to Ian Marquis for “Thick as Thieves”:
I hadn't heard your stuff in a while, Ian. Great track! What's your next move? I might need your help, remixing my next album -- a solo project. I will let you check out some of the tracks once I have some of the stems in place.

Great stuff, as always, Ian. Lyrics, = great, too.

Thank you,

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!

.. Indecent

Kode of Bliss gave feedback to Ian Marquis for “Indecent”:
Nice bell sound going on. The drums are well done nice and clean. I felt the vocals were a bit too forward in the mix, maybe it is just me. Still some good panning and intermixing of the instruments.

s.a. zober gave feedback to Ian Marquis for “Indecent”:
Vox sound great on this one. I don't think that I had heard this one before. The waveform looks pretty rad on this one, too. How did you do that?!?

I love the lyrics as always, man I never thought that I'd be nostalgic for the 1980's! Very professional production value -- your'e going places, kid!!!

How is everything with you, my friend?

Thank,

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!

.. Triumph and Sin

s.a. zober gave feedback to Ian Marquis for “Triumph and Sin”:
Nice change of pace from what you've been producing lately!

Sort of your "Civil War", or "Every Rose Has It's Thorn"! -- very tender tune.

GREAT HARMONIES, BRO!!!

Thank you as always,

Ian Marquis  Thank you, man!

This track is actually older than all the recent ones I have posted - I recorded it last December, as I was starting to think about my new album and dealing with some heavy personal stuff. I'm really glad you like it.  (Sep 11, 2012, 23:29 EDT)
