An update or 2

I think it's been a while since I've blogged here.  That's a shame.  Let's see...my dog Shelby is doing very well.  I adopted a kitten last year and she's gotten along splendidly for the most part (although she likes to repot my plants sometimes).

2008 was great!  I recorded and mixed my third album.  It only needs to be mastered and then will be ready for release, hopefully this year.  In the meantime I've started work on my fourth album which I hope to have released exactly a year after the third.  The title of the new album is, "Ian Quiet Says...Save the Spotted Mermaid".  It's a loose concept album about enjoying life and finding yourself.  We are all an endangered species if you think about it.  Whoa!  That's kinda deep!!  :o)  I like that a lot.  I had so much fun making this record and am grateful for Jason's lyrics and drumming, Lacy's guest vocals and Qarly for being the voice of Gretchen Williamson, the Spotted Mermaid as well as The Siren playing bass guitar on "Om Mani Padme Hum".  Thank you all very much!!  It's such an eclectic album and while it is electronic it has some very organic moments and is the most organic album I've recorded overall.  Well, I hope everyone has an awesome 2009. 

Love,

Ian
