Project I.E. is a project by Richard Ibanez and Daniel Escamilla.  We released an album called Journey Onward.  Dan writes the lyrics and sings.  Rick writes the music and plays bass, guitar, keyboards and software drums.  Rick also engineered, mixed and mastered the album.  Dan and Rick both played in a band in the late 80's and early 90's called King's Ransom.

When You Lie

As I've mentioned I played in a band called King's Ransom from 1986 to 1992.  We formally named the band King's Ransom in 1988.  Last summer I got together with John Alvarado (Guitarist, King's Ransom) and Anthony 'Ant' Gomez (Drums, King's Ransom) to work on some original material.  This is one of the pre-production tracks we worked on.  Unfortunately, I had a hand injury due to carpal tunnel in my left hand and we've had to stop production.  Since the three of us have played in King's Ransom I thought this would be an cool opportunity to release a song as a 30th anniversary dedication.  Hope you enjoy!

Cast A Stone

Back a couple of years ago Anthony Gomez mentioned a friend Guitarist Greg Pool wanted to record some songs.  Asked if I would play bass.  We worked on a couple of tunes.  Over time we had never completed these songs.  Greg and Ant had laid down vocal, guitar and drum tracks on one of the songs.  Fast forward May 2020 and bored being isolated during this Covid19 pandemic.  Greg and I were talking and he mentioned that this song was in need of bass.  That's a quick way to get me moving and shaking.  He provided me the tracks and I laid down the bass tracks with his invaluable input.  Greg pushed me to dig deep, I'm really proud of the bass lines and tones I came up with his inspiration.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.  I want to thank my Son for the art work it's one of my favorites.  A dark self portrait of himself.  Part of a project when he did a summer program at the Blue Star Art Center a local art gallery.
