About

Melody first

Ian Mann is a guitarist and composer. Raised on classic British rock and drawn to the sweep of orchestral music, he writes instrumental pieces that put melody first — vintage valve tone, big themes, no vocals required.

Echos from the Future is his new album — released in August 2026 and streaming now.

The Album

Echos from the Future

From the opening charge of Conquest to the quiet farewell of Always, Echos from the Future moves between rock power and concert-hall scale — a voyage in ten parts.

Original compositions sit alongside two reimagined classics: Karl Jenkins’ Palladio and Uli Jon Roth’s The Sails of Charon.

Side A

  1. Conquest
  2. Palladio
  3. Horizon
  4. Liberation
  5. Saudade

Side B

  1. Euphoria
  2. The Sails of Charon
  3. Mountains
  4. Odyssey
  5. Always

The Sound

Wood, wire and valves

Ian’s tone is built the old way: V-Picks plectrums and Ernie Ball strings, Fender bodies and hardware with Warmoth custom necks, Bare Knuckle pickups — into Germino amplifiers and Marshall cabinets loaded with Celestion speakers.

Ian Mann's backline: stacked Germino amplifier heads, Marshall cabinets and two Fender Stratocasters
The backline: Germino heads, Marshall cabs, two Strats.
