Bio

Ian Wallace is a progressive rock musician from Bristol UK. He is self-taught and works in his home studio to compose and record his music. Although he has been playing guitar and keyboard and writing lyrics for many years, it was only in 2006 that he decided to promote his music on the internet. He has completed three albums under his former name Ian Bartlett, "Beyond", Psychles" and "The Presence" and is currently working on a fourth album. In addition, he is featured on the Anubis Spire Tribute CD "The Gods Have Chosen" doing his own version of "Talisman of the Dreamer", a song written by Bill Mackechnie from the album"Old Lions in the World of Snarling Sheep". Ian has built up a steady cult following on the internet due to internet chart hits such as "Beyond", "The Twelfth Dream" and "Lair of the Succubus" amongst others. He has gained radio airplay from a number of radio stations including Fox FM, K94 Rocks and most notably BBC Radio, as well as being featured on Progpriestess Melo's Progcasts. Ian's material is atmospheric and makes the best use of his lyrical and musical talents, dealing with such subjects as life after death, dreams and the supernatural. These are subjects which have long fascinated him, hence this musical exploration. The musical themes in his compositions vary from dark and heavy moods with Eastern influences to uplifting and melodic soundscapes. Xanxa R[/b]
