Consequential Concerns from the forthcoming, debut album "Ermita" by guitarist Ryan Ayers.

consequential concerns

I was asked to write and perform, on stage and in costume, musical transitions for an excellent production of Romeo and Juliet put on by the Coeurage Theatre Company. The production ran from April 14 to May 20 2012 to sell out crowds! 

These five transition pieces are a mix of variations based on pieces from my album "ermita" (trans. 1, 3b, and 5) as well all new original music inspired by production (trans. 2, 3a, and 4). 

It was a real privilege working with Coeurage Theatre Company and I would highly recommend checking out their future shows!

Ryan Ayers began playing guitar at the age of thirteen. He attended Loyola Marymount
University and graduated with degrees in classical guitar performance and recording
arts. It was there that he began his studies with classical guitarist Martha Masters.

An active composer for over ten years, Ryan released his first record of ten original
pieces for guitar entitled ermita in 2011. In 2012, he published the corresponding sheet
music and tablature. These pieces employ classical guitar technique to explore the
reaches of steel string and finger style guitar. A gifted melodist, Ryan also likes to
experiment with gestures, textures, and rhythmic ideas in his compositions.

In addition to composing, Ryan records and produces recordings and albums for other
guitarists and solo instrumentalists.
