Ian C. Bouras experimenting with new ideas

I haven’t written a new piece, in a while, for many reasons, but I’ve also been improvising a lot.I finally started writing a new piece:) It’s very much a work in progress, but I’m happy with most of it, so far.I’m using a Holzer Guitar (with Stringjoy strings), a Dunlop volume pedal, and a TC Electronic Flashback, through a Fender amp!The volume swells are looped in the first part, then just straight playing in the second part!Thank you for watching, and stay safe!

Musical slideshow by Ian C. Bouras

I was upstate this past weekend! On one of my walks, I took lots of photos:) I put a lot of the photos in a slideshow set to a song called Piecing Together A Shattered Heart, which I recorded, and released as a single in 2017, but the music fit great, in my opinion! Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy it! Stay safe!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving from Gotham, by Ian C. Bouras

These are photos that I took yesterday, I improvised over them quickly, hence the less than perfect audio recording, and this is the result! This was my Thanksgiving crafts project, and I did yesterday, as my way to wish everyone Happy Thanksgiving from Gotham! Thank you for watching, and I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Ian C. Bouras (Music & Photography)

At the urging of many people, I have finally merged my music & photography, two of my biggest creative passions:) I made a slideshow of my photos, then played guitar to it, and added some wind chimes! There are a few adjustments I might make on the next video I make, but felt this was a great experiment for my first! These are my photos, and my guitar playing, and it was a fun experience putting this video together:) Thank you for watching, and stay safe!

Ian C. Bouras at The PVD Loop Festival in Rhode Island

Federico Balducci​, and I, recently performed an improvisation set at Strange Stage​, and we connected musically, so we formed an improvisation duo called Book of Clouds! Federico's chord voicings were absolutely gorgeous, and gave the feeling of a dream sequence. This is a video of our very first time playing together, and the birth of Book of Clouds! Thanks for watching:) Enjoy!

I performed at Prohibition (NYC), and played my composition, Weeks become Months, and Memories become Melodies (Expiration on Sacrifice), with an Epiphone Sheraton (with Stringjoy guitar strings), and a TC Electronic Flashback:) Thanks for watching/listening!
