Welcome !!
ISG Publications was established in 1989. It is always the intention of ISG Publications / ISG Music Promotions to support artists and their pursuit for truth, beauty, expression and discovery, as they see fit. We are supporters of the arts and focus on the under-represented (like double bass, cello, modern composition, the avante-garde, mixed-media). We welcome collaborations and inquiry!
May 2024: Another great year of musical activities have enhanced our offerings. Patrick Neher and Martin Kennedy recently completed a new House Concert CD of Three Sonatinas for Contrabass and Piano. This capstone recording was done in March 2024 at Acoustic Art Studio, in Bellingham, Washington USA. See details and purchase it (also available in USB2 thumb drive) on our recordings page. Also, we have dropped a few prices (even close to FREE – see Double Stop Study #2 for Contrabass), and raised a few prices. New Music sales have taken a nose-dive along with the rest of the economy. But we are ever-optimistic that YOU will be interested in mind-stimulating music!October 31, 2025: We’ve been productive. The most exciting news is that we Just Released Erika Duke-Kirkpatrick’s new book, Natural Harmonics Songbook for Violoncello.
August 2026: Summer is coming to an end, so we’re taking a little hiatus until Sept. 3rd when the school season kicks in. At that time, check out our new offerings. Hopefully, our payment system will be working more smoothly. There have been a number of glitches, sorry. One “For Sure”: It helps to empty the cache of your browser once-in-a-while. PayPal button scripts tend to pile up for some reason and many browsers have trouble displaying our Add to Cart buttons. If you have any trouble ordering from our site, please email to us, or call. We will gladly help you through the purchase process. Do forget we provide quantity discounts as refunds, not on the PayPal shopping cart itself.
New items to consider to help you out throughout the season: Erika Duke-Kirkpatrick’s book on Natural Harmonics, take the mystery out of playing harmonics on the cello! Patrick Neher’s Popper for Contrabass is a well-organized, edited, and transcribed tour-de-force for bass players truly seeking challenge and “upping” their technique; a good way to impress cellists!! And, Mark Rush’s book, Carl Flesh Distilled, has become a staple of every adventurous violinist’s repertory. Happy Fall!:)
