Here’s a new video I recorded of my piece Anthem for solo marimba. It was released in conjunction with Brooklyn Classical, a new label bringing classical music to non classical listeners. We experimented with some non traditional recording techniques, and I’m curious what you think! Listen with some headphones / speakers and feel free to leave a comment. Cheers everyone!

I am extremely excited to have joined the artist rosters at both Zildjian Cymbals and Evans Drumheads. These two companies make world class percussion gear and I am completely honored to be associated with them both! Check out the links above if you’re interested in learning about some of the gear I use.
My good friend Aaron Staebell and I started a music podcast. We thought really hard about the name and decided to call it the Aaron and Ivan Podcast. Listen and subscribe on iTunes.
We don’t know what we are doing so it’s hilarious. Background music at random times, bad editing, funny stories, but also good info about percussion and music. It’s probably very similar to having coffee or drinks with us.
Exciting news! I will be joining the faculty at the Chosen Vale International Percussion Seminar this summer! I will be the composer in residence and will be joining a wonderful roster of faculty members that includes Michael Burritt, Douglas Perkins, Nancy Zeltsman, Amy Garapic, Cynthia Yeh, Tim Feeney, and more.
If you are a percussionist in search of a summer activity, I highly recommend that you apply! Here’s a link with more info: http://www.chosenvale.org/seminars.html
This appointment means so much to me, as past guest composers include Steve Reich, John Luther Adams, and Joseph Schwantner. It’s truly an honor. I’m really looking forward to it and I hope to see you there!
