2011/12 Recording Project

We’ve teamed with Engine Studios  to give our students the opportunity to write and record their own original songs in a state-of-the-art facility. The Bucktown studio has donated a session to each IMW Student band who puts the work in to write and arrange their own original song.  So far we’ve had seven bands participate in the project, with more on the way. The songs will be culled for a forthcoming compilation of student tracks to be released in 2012.  Giving the project a professional look is top rock photographer (and IMW Honorary Board Member) Jim Newberry, a Chicago scene mainstay whose pictures have appeared in Rolling Stone, Spin and Esquire Magazine.
