When people liked my Facebook page 100 times, I liked them back with this sensual love song about liking.

You Liked Me

A song made from recorded sounds for percussion and my acoustic guitar and singing.  One of the songs off of my new album "Being Now," this song shows one of the styles that will branch across the entire album.

You Let Go

This is a sample of editing in Ableton much the way I used to in Logic.  It'll be on a new untitled project of similar music to be released after "Being Now."

*SAMPLE* Roam The Streets

In it's early works.  I'm going to replace the drums with organic recorded sounds.  So far I've just worked mostly on the vocals

Broken Wings

work in progress short instrumental thing

Conundrum sample

Living Backwards - sample -

Sample of a track made mostly of my piano

Already There sample

Electronic song that will be a part of the instrumental side of my new album.  

Right Here

Another sample of a track from the instrumental side of my album I'm working on titled "Being Now." Made with piano and a few other recorded sounds and edited in ableton.

Relax and Be Here

Here's just a super quick sample of what you can do with the mangle granular synthesis plugin and a piano to record.

Pads With The Mangle

Short unfinished song sample.  Rhythm ticks are made of raindrops.  Background ambience is the piano

Light

This is an almost complete version of a song that is more of a self reflection... telling myself to take my time, and realize how beautiful it is when you know you'll reach your goals, but if you take your time, the journey is a pleasure, not a struggle.

Take Your Time

This is the first installment of a two part song for an installation painting that I made with Devon Larsen.  All of the sound is created out of his paint supplies and the canvas.  The tonal qualities are derived from my acoustic guitar.  You can hear the foreshadow of the second song at the end of this one.... I'll eventually re-post this after I link them together.

Lasting Effects

This is a half hour mix down of the music that I did for the opening  reception of some new works at the Museum of American Art, in St. Paul.  Enjoy!!

Here

Sample of the stuff I've been doing with Maschine.  Very releasing.  Feel that relaxation

Something to Live for

Here's a little something I did with doing the dishes.  All of the sound except for my guitar is from doing the dishes. 

Cleaning Up

start of the album Interpersonal V.1 available for free download at https://www.ryanhortonmusic.com .... listen to the next three after this one for the full album, or just download it under my music page at my website... you can do it.

01 Interpersonal I

This is my latest album.  All of the sound is recorded from my environment, be it work, walking around, my apartment, the river... and then reformed into drum kits.  The melodies are predominately my piano and guitar mostly chopped up.  Make sure you Listen Alone

Feel All

My Next Love

Make Me Whole

The Darkness

Listen Alone

Every Day

Polarity

Fire

The Whirlwind

Here's a new electro jam for you Friday night funsters.  Have fun!  It feels nice.

Optimistic

I aim to provide relaxation and healing with my music.  My latest work has focused on taking sound samples of my environment and instruments and re-creating them into music.  This should give the listener a sense of my surroundings, and how I feel about them.  Please Enjoy.
