IAN BLAKE: Home


Ian Blake, as he was in 2005. Intriguingly, the little glitches that go with web-wrangling a photo through various sizes and formats have given the beard a sprinkling of (Dorian?) grey just like the present real-life version. I wonder how long this will go on? Will you be gazing (in your submarine home via your heads-up display implant) into empty orbits half a century hence? Will there still be an interweb? Distinguishable, I mean, from what we now think of as the real world? Will the seamless transition between global info-power gatekeepers Google-plex™ and consensus reality render such a distinction moot? Do you give a flying fish?

Hello: I'm a composer, producer and bass player. Bass singer and bass clarinettist too: I seem to feel at home with those more relaxed frequencies.

And home is where the studio is: you can listen to some of my productions here — from spooky lullabies and dance tunes to songs for kids, sound art, and era-bending electro-organic chamber music.

And if you like what you heard, you can buy it here.


But it's good to get out and do stuff: here's the latest news...well, a gentle ebb and flow of tidings, with a slightly more rapid turnover of news, tunes, and trivia at my blog.

And feel free to explore this site for less ephemeral content: listen to music from way back, download hard to come by material, leave your mark on the guestbook, and acquire delicious Blake product secure in the knowledge that while beautiful and worthwhile, most of this stuff is so obscure that it'll supercharge your collection with ineffable coolth.
