about

After years of playing in bands in Toronto, I took a pause to learn more about songwriting and to focus on becoming a better guitar player. Years later, I find myself living in the woods of very rural Ontario and very deep in the practice of knowing this instrument. Now, more in tune with the cycles of life, I welcome inspiration when it comes—learn Bach tunes when it doesn’t—and play for the moment.

In Light documents some of the early transformations that I went through on this leg of my music-making journey. Recorded in 2015/2016, it emanates from my deep love for the guitar and is steeped in the music of so many others around me.

The music on In Light draws the listener in for a journey, pulls them in for a story. These instrumentals take shape gradually, with graceful determination, like a walk in the woods. The songs came to be what they are over time—the result of letting what feels natural happen next. Good company for a quiet room, this music is guided by intuition and the pursuit of shameless beauty.

about

Ian Russell Toronto, Ontario

Ian Russell makes music for guitar. Often originating in dreams, the songs are coaxed into the waking world over the days, nights, and years, always trusting that first glimpse as a guide.
