about

As a hobbyist musician, finding time for what you love can be a challenge, and finding the energy to actually record and distribute that music is an even greater challenge. Ian Hill's debut album is a one-man adventure into microphone placement, careful listening, frustrating takes, and navigating the music industry. The result is an authentic 40 minutes in Ian's living room. No church acoustics, virtually no audio processing, and all the imperfections of classical performance and home recording. Featuring cameos from a fish tank, rain on a skylight, and an ice maker, Hobbies and Homebodies is certainly not the most pristine or perfected rendition of these incredible classical works, but it may be the most personal. With this album Ian hopes to inspire other non-professionals to brave the world of recorded music and to love playing their instruments, because as long as you're learning and enjoying yourself, it's always good enough.

Ian plays a Steve Ganz guitar and recorded the album with a stereo pair of Rode M5 microphones.
