Bob Baran - A Short Version of A Long Story
Contemplating a "movie script" about the trials, tribulations and ultimate success of an Artist?
...You won't have to fictionalize the life and career of composer and multi-instrumentalist Bob Baran.
When you hear the story about the short chubby 4th grader from Detroit being denied his first saxophone lesson by an elementary school band teacher your heart sinks.
But then the story turns: His family moves to New Orleans and his first music lesson instead comes from the director of the city's top High School Jazz band. Not bad, but it gets better.
How about his being accepted into the Indiana University School of Music, by Dr. Eugene Rousseau, acknowledged as the leading Professor of saxophone in the world...Six months after the saxophone department had closed its admissions for the year.
That's just a taste of the remarkable story of Bob Baran. If his middle name isn't improvisation it must be determination. A determination to discover the source of music which he believes exists somewhere between the left and right-brain functions of the human mind he refers to as the "zone". He believes his unique quantum consciousness creative process directly taps into and reinforces his connection to the "zone" "It's a place you get to inside yourself that always surprises you. My music is my zone"...Says Baran.
Bob and his wife, Gwen work together creating and producing every aspect of their CD releases. Using "Sound Painter" studios, located on the side of a mountain in southwestern Montana as their base of operations. Bob Baran's newest CD, a solo piano album, titled "Escape Music® A New Dawn", is his 7th CD release on Gathering Wave®, an independent record label and distribution company they launched in 2004.

No newcomer to recording and producing music, Bob Baran is a voting member of "The Academy", the organization that awards the "Grammy's" each year. Bob has engineered and produced well over 150 albums through the years in his recording studios in Indiana and Montana. His production company; Baran Productions, is on the Radio Advertising Bureau's "List of Recommended Creative Resources" and chances are you may have already heard one of his jingles, radio spots, or radio productions. (Go online to www.baranproductions.com for more information.)
Baran's original musical style and growing repertoire of recorded music has become a genre unto it’s self with a trademarked name: "Escape Music ®". His newest release; "Escape Music ® A New Dawn", which was on the 49th Grammy ballot in four different categories, presents live unedited quantum consciousness solo piano performances. This album was inspired by a breathtaking Montana sunrise and further reinforces the unique musical niche Baran's music occupies.
What about the sax? As a multi-instrumentalist, the sax has become one of several instruments Baran now calls upon. "I've benefited from the evolution of music and recording technology. A good example is my wind synthesizer...it plays like a sax but can sound like a violin, trumpet or an electric guitar. Add my collection of keyboards and music software and I have unlimited possibilities for musical textures, colors and instruments when I'm composing. It gives me Artistic control over every aspect of my music... But for me, solo piano is still the Holy Grail."
Beginning in 2007, Bob and Gwen Baran made a decision that has transformed Gathering Wave® LLC, into a platform for sharing their transformational creative process with the world. Together they created "The Intentional Prosperity™ System.
"We were able to take the process Bob was using to create his original music and turn it into a methodology that anyone could learn and benefit from. This is a very exciting time for us as we have moved into the practical application of a process which is only limited by your desire" says Gwen Baran.
"Our dream has always been to bring a new way of looking at life and the innate unlimited potential we are all born with. Intentional Prosperity™ as a philosophy and a process is going to unleash a great number of people by enabling them to live the life they love. Intentional Prosperity™ will show them how to rediscover the power of their imaginations as they write the next great chapter of their lives..." -Bob Baran
