among other things...

Recently I went to Ireland. Thus far, it is the most calming place I have experienced. I stayed in a bed and breakfast that was a stones throw from these cliffs.
I played at my cousins wedding, and got to play in an amazing pub called Gus O’Connors. It was an incredible time.

Recording has been put on a little bit of a stand-still because I might have to move. But it will re-commence as soon as possible. Weird how quickly your life can change. Comes out of nowhere sometimes!

Across the tiny road from the B&B I stayed at in Doolin, County Clare.

This is what some of the planning looks like for my debut album.
All of the songs are written, recording will commence soon. It’s probably going to be called “Tall Tales” for various reasons.
But first, off to Ireland!

After a decade out of the limelight, IAINBAXTER& is back.

A leader of conceptual art in Canada, he’s an artistic nomad, a cultural explorer who skips from one idea to the next without settling on anything: one day he’s making vacuum-formed landscapes and still lifes; the next he’s grabbing the corporate structure as if it were a found object, like Marcel Duchamp’s urinal. He then flips the switch and uses his camera to redefine what a photograph can be. David Silcox, the president of Sotheby’s Canada and a long-time BAXTER& supporter, puts it this way: “He changes the definition of art nearly every time he does something.”
