Showcase Concert at the Hobby Center, Presented by the International Music Academy

Houston, TX, January 18, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– On January 21 at 7:00 PM the Hobby Center will host a Showcase Concert for the International Music Academy, one of the oldest and most established music schools in Houston. The concert will present world-class classical musicians performing alongside their prize-winning virtuoso students. The International Music Academy was founded in 2005 by two graduates of Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music who were committed to raising the level of pre-collegiate music education in Texas. Now, eighteen years later, it is home to seventeen teachers and 300 exceptional students. IMA musicians have performed at Carnegie Hall in New York and Albert Hall in London, as well as throughout Europe, Russia, and China. They have also appeared on radio and television and won numerous national and international awards, including every major competition in Texas.

IMA founders and directors Matthew and Katarina Loudermilk have developed a unique music school model which emphasizes high standards of performance. The foundation of this approach is the fostering of student/teacher relationships. Once accepted into IMA, students are assigned to a specific teacher who becomes responsible for their musical growth. The IMA emphasis on performing requires every student in the program to perform in two recitals a year and to pass a jury (piano exam). Students are also able to choose among a wide variety of competition experiences, which are invaluable for both students and their parents.

As well as being professional pianists and teachers, both Matthew and Katarina have assumed leadership roles in musical pedagogy. They have developed a successful teacher training program which is designed to structure music education for every child, giving students direction and a sense of purpose. The compact and simple six-lecture training program has drawn attention from other music institutions as a successful model for emphasizing quality teaching over quick fixes.

The January concert will feature IMA teachers with their virtuoso students playing music from Bach to Rachmaninoff, from Baroque through Modern. Come to the Hobby Center and witness, in one evening, the journey from young musician to professional artist.

SENSANE to Release Debut Vocal Album in October with UK and Indian Artists

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

SENSANE, a Derby producer and DJ, will launch his upcoming album on 22 October 2026 via AHK Global Records, his own record label, according to the announcement. The album combines prominent voices from Panjabi music, new talent from India, and UK artists, marking SENSANE’s debut appearance as a vocalist.

The album follows SENSANE’s long-running mix of Panjabi and Bhangra traditions with folk, hip-hop, R&B, garage and electronic production, a sound he’s built his name on as both a touring DJ and label head. AHK Global Records, which he founded, has previously put out Punjabi-facing projects, including a five-track EP with vocalist Kulvinder Johal that reportedly debuted at number six and was described by some as the first Punjabi album to reach that position on its chart.

"This album brings together the sounds and artists that have shaped me," SENSANE said in the announcement. "I wanted the album to honour the legends, give new voices a platform and show where I’m going next. Putting my own voice on a track is a big moment for me, and I can’t wait for people to hear it."

Details about the complete track listing, collaborators, and SENSANE’s vocal debut track will be revealed before the album drops, according to the statement.

Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether SENSANE’s own vocal debut changes how listeners place him: as a producer stepping forward, or as an artist who’s been building toward this the whole time.

From vault to vision: C’batch reimagines archive recording as ‘Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light) 4 – Cinematic’

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

C’batch has released “Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light) 4 – Cinematic,” an instrumental track built from a previously recorded guitar performance that the artist has reshaped into a new piece.

The release continues a pattern in C’batch’s work: revisiting prior work and reimagining it across multiple versions instead of viewing recordings as standalone pieces. Multiple outlets covering the release have noted that this approach — returning to older ideas and giving them new context — has become something of a signature, with this track functioning as the fourth installment under the “Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light)” title.

The piece is instrumental, with the guitar serving as the primary voice throughout the piece rather than functioning as one element among vocals or other lead instruments. Coverage of the release has described the guitar as the connective thread of the piece, tying its texture and tone together in a way multiple reviewers have called cinematic — the arrangement building mood and movement without lyrics to guide it.

Studio CarryOnHarry finds the more interesting story here isn’t the track itself but the method: a musician who views archived material as material for reinterpretation across multiple versions, and building a numbered series out of revisiting it.
