---------------- Nuanced, emotive ambience ------------

The greatest Metul supergroup with Crayons De Golf, Killa Tunes, Sert, and the always peppy and super talented Mr. Martin McMarty.

Offended Pickle is the best band ever, don't you forget it, they are better than the betuls, Mikel Juchsun and the rullin stoners put together.

Metul forever!

Two kittens are born every time we get a watch so make sure to watch us!

A place for for me to let it all hang out and not worry about what I'm posting.  I will tend to post my more experimental/ avant garde and unfinished works here.
This page is without compromise. Stay or go, it makes no difference to me.

In 2016, Ryan established the Shadow Ensemble, a silent-film scoring ensemble which incorporates both electronic and acoustic instruments, improvised performative techniques and an immersive, engaging audiovisual experience for audiences. Ryan has also premiered his work through performances at a number of universities including the State University of New York Purchase, the University of Tulsa and the University of Arkansas, among others.


Ryan graduated with a Masters in Music Composition from the Royal College of Music in 2013, having been awarded the college’s highest honor for creative achievement.

I take all my passion and throw it into each one on my works, nothing here is half done. From one musician to another, enjoy.
