Ian Ethan Case - The Gift

[@jongomm]

Love this. The density of the chords makes everything sound so thick and rich. And so un-guitar! Just when you think there's nothing left, a new unique and original voice is heard. Thanks, Ian.

[@openlandmusic]

+Jon Gomm thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to listen!

[@PariahLycan]

+Ian Ethan Case You've convinced me. I'm listening to my copy of the album now. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible work with us, and best of luck for the future!

Jon Gomm Jon !!

Jon Gomm: Привет, Джон и Ян! Очень люблю Ваши произведения!) Не знал, что Вы знакомы!)

[@RomanticGuitar-ns4qn]

Music I'll never get tired of listening ♬

[@whisperscribe]

So clear and so much harmonic this is a Rare thing!

[@williamstover5497]

I almost forgot about this absolute gem of a song, this is the kind of songwriting that makes me thankful to live in the time that I live in. Thank you, Ian, for creating this masterpiece! Probably the best loop I'll ever hear, and that fretless solo is truly monstrous.

[@GeneNievesque]

Gets better and better...

[@666LonesomeSailor]

Thank you Mr. Ian Ethan Case for this gift of 11 minutes of lifetime hardly to explain but never be wasted

[@rogo6567]

Magic Guitar-Symphonie!

[@cosmogang]

I absolutely love your work. Great unique style

[@unclegosporchtime5401]

One of the Nicest Sounds coming from an Instrument one would Not think could Sound so Uplifting and Soothing. I believe You may Feel and Talk to them....? So well done....😀👍

[@TheGerogero]

_This_ is music.

[@MountFujio]

This is fantastic music....!!

[@GuitarguyRichard56]

master piece. Should be shared with millions more.

[@zerofish9]

That's just it, the whole universe iS working through him---this is what it sounds like when Spirit uses yoU as the instrument and you are ONE with the all that is...time does not exist. There is no 'set way' when you create from your heart & soul. The lush, harmonic landscapes, deep dancing rhythm, and mysterious drop off to the next path..leave you wanting more. It's an endorphine rush that makes my heart laugh with joy! Thank you for you Ian...Shine on brother!! ~}:

[@InFearWeHide24]

this reminds of the way tool builds up their songs. Very refreshing to see something like this.

[@agentcollado23]

pure eargasm

[@TheGreenKingdom]

What a discovery, wowed by Ian's sound...

[@colehelterbrand3446]

What a beautiful composition. He completely immerses me into his universe of creation. Forces me out of reality and inserts me into his world. Of all of the different forms of art out there, marvelous music like this has to be the most brilliant of all.

[@cameronhutchinson7723]

Dude seriously outstanding. you are actually so amazing. People like you make me want to explore the guitar further and further. People like you influence me, a 16yr old, to completely change people's thinking of how the guitar is supposed to be played. Please keep making more videos so than not only I but many more people can be inspired. Thank you

[@jackleahy9641]

One word EPIC 11 minutes never went by so fast. This was incredible

[@toddbaker5211]

Very very impressive... I was really enjoying the minimalism, the rhythmic and vocal layers... Then the fretless solo happened. Amazing, thank you, Ian!

[@waltrahn4205]

Had the pleasure of seeing Ian live, amazingly in an small-audience setting, last Saturday at the CAF in Rockville, MD. "Stunning" is completely inadequate. 2 hours of bliss, and when you see him live, you get to know him a little between the cuts, as he shares his experiences and answers questions quite straightforwardly. An AMAZING talent. If you have the chance, see him live.

[@capfederikmq9658]

What a sound!!

[@LlamaTheory]

This is the best thing I've heard on candyrat in quite awhile. Incredible composition, absolutely enthralling. Thanks for sharing!

[@thewomanwithnohead]

Genius ! Amazing ! Incredible ! Insane ! Can't find other words to describe

[@FinnJaymz]

This is no mere song, this inspires a dynamic soul searching experience, a brilliant masterpiece. Cannot wait to hear more. Cheers~

[@TDrumandbassmusic]

Wow, beautiful!!!!!!!!

[@ColinWebsterGuitar]

This guy is off the chain!

[@kimokamino731]

I hope he's doing well and still making music, haven't seen much since this release

[@AMaleficOtter]

Wow. The whole universe this man create is stunning. I could keep listening to this again and again...

[@DjentAngry]

Sounds amazing.

[@GraniteStUnderground]

Hats off to Candyrat for adding Ian, a master of guitar orchestra expressionism, to their very rich lineup of talent!

[@Pedro61700]

For a world with more unique and beautiful artists like this, this is awesome

[@Wackymulllemeck]

First tune on Candyrat which i have truly enjoyed in a long time! Thank you for this experience!

[@lucastorres12]

Outstanding! Thanks Ian!

[@ericgendell8874]

Ian has a wonderfully refreshing approach to the guitar, unpretentiously original.

[@THETOASTYTOASTEROMEGA]

beyond beautiful

[@TheNomniz]

It's so beautifull . Thanks for this gift !

[@matthiasbehrens6389]

Amazing

[@JakeMcGuiremusic]

Well done Ian, as always. The rich textures and hypnotic rhythyms you create always bring my into a trance. It's my escape when I want to leave reality for a few minutes! Thanks for the great tunes. I'm so happy for your recent success! Keep it up!

[@g.s3778]

el es verdaderamente un genio

[@c.dub6721]

fantastic work!

[@nataliel4836]

so lovely

[@notpopebuthope]

excellent ... BIG SALUT !!

[@candyrat]

"His new recording, Run Toward the Mountains, is a transfixing brand of energetic minimalism, with intense grooves and a harmonic sense reminiscent of Pat Metheny's best moments." - Don Ross

[@joebanks4997]

Absolute genius. The Mike Oldfield of acoustic guitar.

[@PlainDavid]

Wow! I'm very impressed! Good job!

[@thebouncers]

This dude's just a fuckin genius. Let the world knows

[@SchlabbesPTCG]

The song went on and on and at some point I was thinking "wait, is this still the same track?!". It's so much in one song, just amazing, amazing work. Hope to see/hear more!

[@BroockPhilipp]

+Kaffeebaum not sure if it's a good thing, I feel like musical idea lost there somewhere, but I like Metheny wibe

[@nilabhrobhattacharya7634]

A masterpiece!.. from India with love :-)

[@Lanvy]

*You're the one with the gift! :D*

[@jonathanschubert9052]

You're kind of hypnotizing to watch

[@skateborg]

Another dimension ... such a great ride!

[@duchu14]

Amazing. Greetings from Poland.

[@capstoned]

Still one of my favorites :)

[@1Joren]

So refreshing.. and such a great hearing experience. Awesome dude!

[@oooFEEDBACKooo]

My head is your canvas brother.You painted cerebral goosebumps

[@vibefrequencyable]

Ethan. You have a gift.That was a gift!

[@JonasTjader]

This stuff is great!

[@simenlillehammer]

The sounds you've created is so amazing! Good job mate!

[@esternavas2550]

la mejor canción de todas

[@lebosquettranquille5714]

Awesome

[@deiterroche7875]

Astonishing! Thank you for sharing.

[@thegrimreaper7]

This video needs a thousand like buttons so i can give a thousand likes. My god this guy has it, he really does.

[@VitoGaarin]

Looove it !!! Absolutley fantastic work !!!

[@Leor1vera]

Bienvenido a mi repertorio!

[@jbarry471]

Awesome skills...well done!

[@monoshock57]

Amazing his brain can do that. : )

[@tdb517]

Absolutely great, reminds me of some Steve Reich's pieces

[@scribblesthedelirium7160]

Insert comment of beauty here since I can't find words...

[@radishpinky]

every new song is even longer then the last one. I predict 30-minutes long song after couple months.

[@mode3517]

loop pedals are lovely.

[@deiterroche7875]

I want more. MORE GOD-DAMMIT! :D

[@Railgun_12]

great art my friend! :)

[@tuniox8914]

zajebista nutą przed snem

[@isthathingsharp]

How long did it take you to create this song? I'd really like to know, you absolutely killed it man!

[@geetarwanabe]

So that's where my capo went.

[@BoxFunk]

hahahahahahha!! Thats Funny.

[@albertmiller3082]

Impossibly good.

[@giobelen]

Beautiful. I have a question. How do you get the recording to sound really clear (and not muddy or crackly) despite it having a lot of layers?

[@gritzball]

Pat Metheny Group all in one man!

[@alexlappano435]

makes me think of how a steve reich tune would sound played on acoustic guitars

[@joebanks4997]

Any chance of a collab with Mike Dawes?

[@Thatmusicdude91]

My buddy just walked in my room as this was playing and said "Bro, your audio isn't synced with your video".. I laughed at him for sure.

[@Carneiro1422]

While he plays the 2neck guitar there's still some strumming pattern in the background which he does not play real-time.

[@Guitaristscreamer]

What are the things on the necks that arent the capos?

[@stayupkane]

@ianethancase ..... I was listening to this today which inspired me to set a goal of making a Instagram video of a fluid riff even though my arm was spastic...I did it... My IG name is @pappyredbeard Thank you for all you do, you truly inspire me to push through disability. I listen to your video of you playing the kalimba and fretless ( you said it was untitled) you were on a videoed store concert, anyway I listen to that song at least once a week. Peace P

[@joeyhiphopman2010]

Lowwww

[@joseaugustocaldasgomes1761]

[@DIRT2021]

Doesn't he only have the E strings doubled up on the '12 string' neck ? So really, he is playing a 13 string....... VERY nice soundscape, but seems to get a bit repetitive for my liking.

[@vibefrequencyable]

Whoever gives this a thumbs down has no musical taste in my opinion!

[@GrizzlyWang]

and to think, my whole people have always told me, brown and black don't go together

[@TheHagen83]

Not from this earth!

[@Hutster1229]

What the fuck!!!!

[@kendram90]

Judging of thumbs up/down people start to getting used to your style :).

[@joeyhiphopman2010]

Cutoffff lowwww

[@conormcmuffin1725]

That guitar must be a bitch to tune.

[@sstauby]

Very cool but I'm a believer in the less-is-more form of percussive fingerstyle. This is a complete overload. I'd rather be able to actually distinguish what is happening in each part.

[@Lonewolf3zx]

i literally cant shut up
