X on display

My dearest and nearest,

After a painfully long but beautifully reflective time hiding, thinking and writing hard, I have decided to take a huge step closer to you all this year and for the rest of my life.

This will come, initially, in the form of a bi-weekly video blog which will give you a deep insight into the making of the next IAMX album and any other creative fucked-up nonsense I get up to.

My music, video making, painting, photography, sexual activity, will be on display.

There are some radical changes ahead and, because of your long lasting perverse support I think you should become a part of it. It’s about fucking time and it’s only fair.

Stay alert and connected here, stuff is coming.

 

All my lovin’

Chris

 

The video blog will start some day next week and will be posted on the IAMX youtube channel and, accompanied with written words, here.

    You, mister, have made my whole year.. Thank you so very much for making us part of the magical process.. Can’t wait for the first video… And I’m still hoping we’ll see you soon, here in México, if not, i’ll have to get a visa.. but i swear I’ll see you live before i die.
    Love you, beautiful freak.

    Yunuén.

    Looking forward :)

  4. Ashi Says:

    Thank you Chris.

    You are a beautiful person; your emotion in every lyric you’ve ever written and your harmonic voice just gets me every time. For the last three years since I’ve known of you (I know it’s only little!) the one artist I keep turning back to for fun, for music to cry to, to get rid of anger with, to fall asleep to, to dance like an idiot to, even to make love to, it’s all been IAMX. Because somehow, you’re more than just another artist.. your music seeps into my subconscious when I neglect it for a while, until I come back for more.

    Take it easy with the sudden exposure if it you don’t feel it becomes you, we will support you all the same.

    Love from Australia,
    Ashi

    Elia.

  19. Russian Says:

    After suffocating in such a continuous information vacuum, promise of regular breathes of fresh air makes my life way brighter. Thank you, kind sir. As an addict of ×, I can hardly wait for another dose.

    Cheers from Moscow. We’re anticipating.

  20. Manon Says:

    Thank you Chris. You give me a lot. Your work helps me to feel better when I’m down, and it helps me feeling happier when I’m happy. You’re just an amazing source of comfort. Much love.

    Amaizing and breathtaking…

  26. k Says:

    whether or not you stick to it, it’s all good. but probably a wise move on some levels. when i was younger, i felt much more loyalty to a band–even as my loyalty to the music waned–that was interactive, etc.

  27. Addicted Says:

    It’s so exciting! Thank you for this desire to communicate with fans. You even can’t imagine how it is important for us. You are the best. Lots of love.
    P.S. Can’t wait for the video.

  28. Magda (Arinsar) from Poland Says:

    Sounds tempting…

  29. mi Says:

    my admiring and fangirl self is excited to have this new connection with you and to see what you go through and put into making the new album.

    my base self is excited to witness your sexual activity.

  30. Tat Says:

    Thanks from Moscow from the heart and with love.

  31. Vera Says:

    Thanks, mr Corner.

    Janine was absolutely right when she said about the bright future in communication of IAMX and your fans. As one of administrators of Russian Fan Club I’d love to say we all are very excited about this video blog and also we’re so proud to be one of those countries you’re going to visit this year.

    Get ready for our psychosis, Chris.

  32. Natalia Kozłowska Poland Says:

    Firstly. I apologize for weak English. I don’t use translator, so it’s hard to say something if you have 16 years and you’ve got poor experience in speaking this language. I don’t know whether I should be happy or sad. If I were you, I wouldn’t show and share my life and secrets. But you chose a kind of life where you can’t be too mysterious if you don’t want to be forgotten. So maybe it’s good step. I’m happy that you’re happy. I will be very glad when I will admire your art but please… don’t overdo ;) keep some secret because it’s a piece of IAMX. I love your music and all art

  33. Amélie Says:

    Still here… and waiting :)

  34. Valentin Says:

    You can’t imagine how EXCITED I am :D Looking forward :)

    You’ve got balls, sir.

  37. Sioux Krause Says:

    This post just gave me chills. Thank you for trusting us this much. I know you will be glad and that it will be rewarding to you. Every time I think I can’t love you more, you do something like this. You are so brave and inspiring in every way. Thank you. x

  38. sun_sunovna Says:

    Christopher, thank you so much!!!!! can you imagine how pleasant is to read a new words from you? and what a words!!))) It’s so touching that you decided to get a little closer to us, to be a little more open to us!!! and it is so intimate — to share some moments of your creative activity with us!!! You are wonderful))) thank you!!!!

    hugs and greets from Ukraine!
    love,

  39. ross Says:

    i’m very glad to hear from you, chris. i’m happy you decided to take this step, can’t wait for video blogs
    thanks for everything

  40. John velvet Says:

    Wow this sounds very exiting . After having been introduced to your music by a good friend not so long ago ,I have been totally addicted , your lyrics are so beautifully inspiring , you are truly a talented human .Cant wait for more . And please consider Australia for your tour dates . ( wishfull thinking ) XX >.<

  41. ultranuman Says:

    Pardon my language, “that’s f**king awesome”.

  42. Tania Says:

    My dearest and nearest,

    Let me be unoriginal, Christopher. Though we’ve never seen each other, I consider you as the nearest and dearest person. I feel so close to you. On spiritual level, of course. Your blogs are just like missiles. They come out of nowhere. Every time it’s so nice to hear from you, but this time is special. Your step towards us is enormously important to each of us. It’s absolutely vital for me to know that you’re doing fine and what’s going on in your head at the moment. Hope, you’ll continue with your writing as exactly in this, as well as in your music, I see your soul and heart. Video blog is an excellent idea, but I desperately need your writings. I find them very therapeutic and healing, again, as well as your music. Thank you for everything.

    With profound respect and breathless anticipation,

    Tania

    Hi Chris,

    This is wonderful news. I’ve been checking in every other day since your blog in February, and I’m ecstatic you finally have something new to tell us. I’m so glad you’ll be posting video blogs. I’m truly looking forward to them.

    Looking forward to being your fan for many years to come.

    With Love,

    Kerry

  46. Dawn Says:

    You just made my day! Thank you so much for giving us a glimpse into your life. I’m very excited to see where this is going <3

  48. Krystal Says:

    Thank you, love. This means so much to us. The intimacy of IAMX has always been what has kept me coming back for years. You really care about us. In turn, we really care about you. Looking forward to the chaos. Stay well. xxx

  49. Yana Says:

    chris, you make my world go round. thank you for taking this extra step to include us in your universe. its not mandatory, but it’s exciting. i think the fact that you’re such a private person makes this all the more meaningful to me, and i’m happy to experience whatever you have to share. your albums are a staple in my life, they’re my escape, my spirituality, my safe place – you give me a world in which i can be more than i am. and that’s one of the most amazing gifts ever. this goes beyond talent (which goes without saying, of course, you’re a master of what you do). so seriously, thank you. for existing, for being you, for writing beautiful melodies and for your voice and for your mind. can’t wait to hear your lovely words on youtube.

    love.

  50. kats Says:

    Mr. Corner, i hope you will let us know at least a month in advance before so i can plan my holiday and i can be part of something ive been dream of. please do so. many thanks. love.love. x

  51. Sylvie Says:

    Dear Chris,
    I am so pleased to hear that! Do you consider sharing your thoughts as well? Since I’ve got to “know” you, I crave to hear your opinions and philosophy of life, it shows me new points of view – and that doesn’t happen to me very often among all the people afraid to step out. (Selfishly, I’d suggest you to write a book.) I cherish that you let us look into your mind, I realize that it is something really personal…
    Anyway, looking forward to hearing your beautiful voice again and feeling like being a part of all the chaos.
    Take care,
    S.

  52. Jenn Says:

    Wow, just wow. I take your words with me every where I go, as they are inked on my skin. I presume I will be falling in love all over again. Thank you, Chris.

  53. Marta Says:

    Dear Chris,

    it sounds a little bit scary)
    of course all your fans are ardently wanted to know EVERYTHING about everything (cause your life is almost the biggest suspense), but i’m begging not to show all your cards, let secrets to be secret! you are mysterious and that’s one of the reason why you attract so much attention to your personality and private life.
    i support the thought abot writing a book, predict it’s gonna be my favourite book ever)
    listen to your heart and take care

    much love,
    Marta

  54. BlSister Says:

    Dear Chris!
    All of us know, that this is a huge and gentle gesture from you. True happiness…!!
    but…. personally…?
    It sounds impossible and in some way…. resigned. But I hope that you will enjoy it.
    With the most respect to you. x3

  55. Lindsey Marie Rose Says:

    I am beyond enthralled to be reading this; as another has said, this truly is a huge gesture and is so very very VERY much appreciated, as I cannot help but wonder what goes on in your lovely head to produce such beautiful and powerful music.

    Thank you for allowing all of us a glimpse into your life.
    I know I will be sitting before my computer every other week like a child on Christmas morning waiting to watch.

    All of my love, Chris; forever and always ♡

  56. Lindsey Marie Rose Says:

    PS: I would have said more, but so many already took the words out of my head.

    I carry your music with me everywhere I go, as well as your words in my skin. You have changed me as a person, and through that I do feel quite “near and dear” to you; maybe if I knew if I believed I had a soul or spirit, I would say I feel some sort of connection to you. Some of your words take mine right out of my mouth… or mind.

    I apologize for the two posts, but reading this has made my week a whole lot brighter. You inspire me so much, and I am truly thankful for you just being you.

    Once again, all of my love, lovely.

  57. xave Says:

    Everything takes shape, sounds collide, image appear and disappear, dreamlike, hysteric, such a pleasure to listen to your compositions, enjoyment, entertainment, dance …Simple girl, the greatshipwreck of life, avalanches, Fire and whispers, song of imaginery beings, hhhuuummm !!! See you in Ronquières.

  58. Lisa Says:

    Thank you so much, mr. Corner! I’m very very happy to read you words. Thanks for your warm relation and attention. Missing you. Can’t wait for november to show you our great love:). See you in Russia. Love, love, love!

  59. Julia Says:

    It’s good to have you back. We missed your dark insanity. Kiss xxx

  60. Eleonora Says:

    How about a face-to-face?

  61. Kinga Says:

    Hearing, or reading something like that from your favourite artist is something magnificient. To have an opportunity to be, in some way, near and closer to person who you admire… brilliant. However, there is a thin borderline between true art made with all heart and only empty, egoistic showing off… Don`t forget that we love IAMX just because of something true in it. This is special. I`m a bit affraid that we will lose the most beautiful piece of IAMX which makes it is different from others! And I`m affraid that you will lose yourself between all that stuff. I don`t know, maybe my fear is unnecessary, but please, think of it and be careful.
    Anyway, I am deeply respectful for your plans and will support you in everyway I can, believing in your ‘gold soul’ that can`t dissapoint us anymore.
    Much love, respect, and apart from everything, waiting for your “display”

    ” … So long , So long you’ve waited in line ( for IAMX) Desire is a gift in life. So long , So long you’ve left and arrived, It’s time for you to stay a while …. ” ( and with this blog , you will) thank you X.

  63. Philipe Macedo Pereira Says:

    Dear Chris, I’m from Brazil and I really admire your works. Kinda magic, kinda spiritual. Would love to see a show of yours, someday. Unfortunatelly, you just play in Europe, but that’s ok, hope someday I can travel to this continent just to see this enthusiastic, brilliant concert.

    @philipereira

  64. Abi Says:

    Ah! This so exciting! Thank you so much! :D *Please do an American Tour- we NEED YOU!*

  65. Nina Says:

    Dear beautiful Chris,
    I’m very curious of your plans and waiting to swallow it all up with my long lasting perverse support (that made me laugh so hard!). Your art is extremely personal and vulnerable and now you are willing to go one step further, to let us in even more. I am thankful for that and can only say that I have complete faith in what you do. Your fans are happy with whatever you are willing to give, as long as we don’t ask too much of you.
    Europe welcomes you back. And although I know that not long ago you played several shows in Austria it feels like ages. We desperately need you back. Whatever you did to me with your words, your voice and that incredibly intimate feeling in your live shows has gone very deep and does not let me rest. Waiting for more. For IAMX5. For more shows. Lots of love!

  66. Stripes Says:

    Why does it hurt so much?

  67. rowan r Says:

    sounds exciting…
    bated breath :D

  68. Zaccy Says:

    Hi Chris. I just wanted to say I’ve been a fan for several years & as a young gay boy in the pursuit of sharing my art with the world you are a constant inspiration. I hope I can meet you one day and thank you in person for sharing your soul with me, and perhaps steal a kiss. -Zaccy

  69. Dana Says:

    This video blog deal worries me ……I don’t want u to get hurt …good luck!
    Love you forever:)
    Please keep on writing

  70. Vera Says:

    I hope it doesn’t mean you’ve given up writing in your blog.

  71. Tania Says:

    Beautiful Chris,

    Firstly, thank you so much for putting the idea with video blog into practice. Personally I savored every moment of your first video journal. I entered into your world since I heard your song at the first time, but now we all, crazy and beautiful people, have a unique opportunity to walk into your world completely. Thank you once more for being yourself and allowing us to be a part of your world. And there is no going back now, as you said. As we all heard, you want us to ask you questions. Well, I have too many questions to write them here. Anyway, I still hope I’ll have an opportunity to talk to you personally one day. And maybe this day will be in Kyiv this year. Who knows…? Is there any chance to see you at afterparty? Now you are communicating with us. And it feels so good to realize this. So, my main question: Will you find somehow someday time to release an album with Noise Cabinet Remixes?

    Much love,
    Tania
