Greetings to everyone who is still subscribed to the iHearIC Radio podcast feed. This show has been on life support since the beginning of the pandemic, but I've really been itching to breathe new life into the project. In order to motivate myself to do the show more regularly, I need to consolidate. So, iHearIC Radio is now a monthly feature on the Rock Hard Caucus feed, and this will be the final episode posted to this feed (at least for the foreseeable future). Apologies to anyone who might be inconvenienced by that, but I doubt there are many of you. Going forward, you can listen to new episodes of iHearIC Radio by subscribing to this RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/rockhardcaucus (or just subscribe to Rock Hard Caucus wherever you listen to podcasts) For the first episode of this new era of iHearIC Radio, guitarist Dan Padley came over to discuss his own creative path, listen to music from some other local musicians, and most importantly, name some Star Wars planets. Find more of Dan's stuff at http://danpadley.com and support his work at https://patreon.com/danpadley This episode features music by:obviously, Dan Padley (https://danpadley.bandcamp.com)Instant Deth (https://instantdeth.bandcamp.com)The Weepies (https://www.theweepies.com)Jarrett Purdy & Lex Leto (https://jarrettpurdymusic.bandcamp.com/album/have-you-been-the-night) You can find the full iHearIC archives (prior to this podcast episode) at http://ihearic.com https://rockhardcauc.us Direct mp3 link: https://archive.org/download/2023-07-17-ihearic-122/2023-07-17%20ihearic%20122.mp3

 As I'm sure you're aware, the iHearIC project has been pretty sporadic and mostly inactive for a couple years. But there's still a patreon, and there are still people kicking in a little money every month, so I have to give them something in return for their support. For most of this year, I have been uploading my "improvisation for dance" series to fulfill that purpose. One of my day jobs is accompanying dance classes, and in some of those classes I'm lucky and have a lot of freedom to experiment and explore kind of out-there musical ideas. I started recording some of those experiments back in February. Since then I've uploaded 40 pieces in the series; hours and hours of music. Today, I cleared out my backlog and uploaded 7.5 hours of recordings that are scheduled for release over the next 15 days. Here is the first part of the latest batch, for free, here on the iHearIC Radio podcast feed.  If you subscribe to the patreon for just $1/month, you can get the entire series here: https://www.patreon.com/ihearic/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=improvisation%20for%20dance The patreon money goes towards paying artists to play shows and for promotional materials. I'm hoping to put on a few classic iHearIC shows in 2023, so your support is appreciated!  Also, if you dig the music in the "improvisation for dance" series, you'd probably enjoy my new album with Chris Emery, SUMMER TAPE: https://justinkcomer.bandcamp.com/album/summer-tape Find everything iHearIC at http://ihearic.com Direct mp3 link: https://archive.org/download/2022-10-19-improv/2022-10-19%20improv.mp3
