Ian Camp

Multi-instrumentalist musician Ian Camp could be described as one part performance artist, one part religious hermit, and one part Wonka-style mad inventor. Ian makes his living performing full-time on upright bass, drums, classical guitar, vocals, plus some banjo and Japanese koto and shamisen. He runs a pro-musician service, ArtSound Live Music, which has provided live music to events throughout the U.S.

Ian holds a juris doctorate and has authored a book-length work on free will, equality, and U.S. Constitutional theory; and is currently working on a prototype for a kids' toy invention.

Ian's music taste is unbounded, and he lists a short performance on drums with the Smashing Pumpkins as one of the highlights of his music career.

This single is from the soon-to-be-released “Lloyd Miller At the Ends of the World” album, a nine track world jazz journey.

From the liner notes:

We begin the migration from the Near - East to the influences of the Far - East with this song. “Bassmeant Blues at the Apocalypse” transitions these modes nicely as the [record’s] B side begins with a meditative introduction on flute then slowly develops into a swingy jazz tune. This was the earliest song we recorded for At the Ends of the World, acting as yet another thesis statement for Lloyd’s jazz foundation and global sensibilities. Lloyd solos beautifully on the bowed dilruba over broken percussion, following with an Eastern - style flute solo as the bass line develops and cymbals begin to swing. Lloyd’s piano eventually leads you to Ian’s bluesy, yet sophisticated, koto solo - landing you feet - down in the Far East.

Recording this track down in Lloyd’s basement was like a surreal nostalgia for some primitive future. His half - century old, live jazz posters and pictures from around the world, all boasting his name and lining the walls. World instruments piled up around us next to his self - canned food storage; I felt like we were playing live in some funky fallout, a dystopian speakeasy on the other side of time and the world - where people gathered not to secretly drink, but to indulge in a music forbidden by the pop dictators of the world. “The Apocalypse” might as well been the name of this imaginary night club. A dark and dusty hole in the ground where we worshipped and played this pestilent blues fusion.
