New album Windows On The Floating World out May 15, 2026.

Hi. After six years of everdays, I've decided to retire the AudioDiary project. Artistic endurance has it's merits and I've met the challenge and been both inspired and humbled by it. Ideally, I’d never stop. And if I had to, I would've preferred to go out on some number-of-years-completed goal post, the next emotional notch after completing years one and five being ten years. But sticking it out for four more years just to get there, I held that artifice and I just couldn’t get it to resonate with me. I don’t want to stop, not really, but I do want to grow, so while I still feel the beneficence of the work I’ve done, it’s time. I’ve had fun, learned a lot, and now I’m ready to explore. All 2192 days will be made available on streaming services as a historical record. Thanks for listening.

Song-Writer / Singer / Sound Designer / Producer. 

Sam Buonavolontà (Italian Translation: Goodwill) has been crafting experimental music under the alias "Sam Goodwill" for over a decade. Rooted in thematic lyricism, the music combines engaging songwriting with the drama and energy of Rock n' Roll. Though by-and-large a solo effort, Sam collaborates with a rotating cast of friends and respected colleagues in the studio and on stage. 

Co-Founder of a warehouse studio in Youngstown, OH (Historian Recording Co.) Sam mixes and manufactures sound and dialog for independent movies. This is also where band's such as Mount Eerie, R. Ring, Karl Blau and Noveller have passed through to record live performances for the concert series "Historian Sessions" that Sam started with his wife and several friends. 

Sam Goodwill independently recorded an EP in 2009 "Stampede" and a fan-funded LP in 2012 "History" and has toured extensively in both US & Europe.

Join Mike and I as we take a deep dive into our 6-year journey to release our first album. We discuss how our duo continues to chug along and introduce the songs that make up Ignite the Rest as well as the talented cast of characters that have joined us to make this music.

R. Ring is Kelley Deal (the Breeders)and Mike Montgomery (Ampline). It is guitars, voices and keys. The music is sparse, abrasive, chaotic and lulling... often within the same song.
