Music (Ivan Wilzig Becomes Recording Artist Sir Ivan, Aka Peaceman)
When asked why he calls himself “Sir” Ivan, he jokingly reponds, “I didn’t ask permission from the Queen of England to build my own castle(see Sir Ivan’s Castle section), so why should I wait for her to knight me? And so, I knighted myself.” “Also, I thought “Sir Ivan” makes a great stage name. Ivan alone, reminds people of the Russian Czars, like Ivan the Terrible and Ivan the Great, and Wilzig is too hard to spell.”

Famous quotes containing the words music, recording, artist and/or aka:
“The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.”
—André Previn (b. 1929)
“Self-expression is not enough; experiment is not enough; the recording of special moments or cases is not enough. All of the arts have broken faith or lost connection with their origin and function. They have ceased to be concerned with the legitimate and permanent material of art.”
—Jane Heap (c. 1880–1964)
“An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportions.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Before me you are a slug in the sun. You are privy to a great becoming and you recognize nothing. You are an ant in the afterbirth. It is in your nature to do one thing correctly: tremble.”
—Michael Mann, U.S. screenwriter. Frances Dollarhyde, aka “The Tooth Fairy” (Tom Noonan)
