About JON PHIPPS (composer)

At the moment i am mostly focusing on writing modern classical music for my masters degree in music composition at Colchester Institute in the UK, where i also did my BA (hons) in music. I'm not a classical musician at heart though: I came into modern classical music from an electric guitar background. I used to be in a band that combined elements of modern classical and jazz with progressive metal but at the moment i haven't got time to work on that stuff. When i have a break from academia in the summer i will try to get a new band together. At the moment i am playing double bass and electric bass in a jazz fusion band which is great fun. Alot of the recordings on here are just ruff sketches and mostly synth-generated, but i will be getting some more recent compositions performed and recorded in the near future. If anyone would like to work with me on a project i would be keen to collaborate :)

Immercia (Need Shows!!)	Jul 5 2008 8:31 AM Wow, I listened to it all the way through twice and i'm really impressed with the composition man! I really like how you've made the sections flow and it would sound amazing with a band. A great eclectic mix of all your influences, well done! Chris
Immercia (Need Shows!!)	Jul 5 2008 8:11 AM On your myspace? Is it up yet?
Immercia (Need Shows!!)	Jul 5 2008 7:43 AM Cheers man, it's much appreciated! Oh and if you meet us outside the Twist before the gig we can give you a ticket £1 cheaper. :) See you there! Chris

jem	Jun 13 2008 2:31 AM I'm alright thanks, keeping busy with the arty stoof. It's a nice feeling to be able to do the work you want to do rather than having to do something to pass a module, at least you have a few weeks to do that ;o) Trying to find a few minutes to update and add new pics to my page at some point...it will be done eventually! :o)
Elle Torry	Jun 11 2008 3:21 PM London Guitar show on sat! 1 space in the car up for grabs and Guthrie is playing :)

Immercia (Need Shows!!)	Jun 9 2008 4:14 AM Hey, sorry for the late reply, only just got back into the myspace thing. Cheers , yeah, the recording of Vividarium is the latest version we made, however we're going back in the studio soon to record our new singers vocal parts on all the tracks over James' who now does backing vocals. We're playing our first gig as a five-piece at the Spread Eagle in Ipswich on the 27th june so come to that if you can. Chris
