Ian Young is a musician living in Los Angeles. While studying music and recording at the University of Massachusetts, he played bass in the collective indie/folk/rock act Will Brierly & the Roller Holsters as well as sang and played various instruments in his own solo project, Kill the Painter .
After graduating, Ian packed up and drove to California to work at a recording studio in Burbank. Vehicular woes and a lack of income forced him to leave the studio and apply his experience with audio to the home entertainment industry, eventually building screening rooms in the homes of actors, record & film executives, and other members of the Hollywood elite.
In late 2006, Ian founded ToneScene , a website that lets independent musicians turn their songs into ringtones and sell them to their fans. The website is under development and will launch this spring.
Ian has composed and arranged music for the following films by director JT Mollner:
Sunday Evening (completed)
The Red Room (completed - screening event coming soon!).
The I Scream Man , starring Crispin Glover and Haylie Duff (in development)Ian currently plays keyboard and guitar for rock and roll cover band The Generics . He is also rehearsing, rewriting, and recording material for his next solo project, a concept album titled Postcard, which includes the song "Continental Divide," featured above.
Ian is also a proud and often obnoxious advocate of open-source software, Creative Commons licensing, and many other things ending in .org:
