Out Enough

Out Enough

Debut Album — 2012

In 2011 Ryan wrote one song every day for 100 consecutive days. After writing so many songs, he decided to record them and let people into his world. He called up his friends, hauled his Rhodes to the studio and recorded it all live over the course of two days. This is his first album — in a way, a 'best of' from those first 100 songs.

The Planets

The Planets

for Jazz Trio

In another life Ryan played the bassoon and once had the privilege of performing Holst's Planets in the university orchestra. When he put away the bassoon it struck him that he'd never get to play that beautiful music again, so he arranged it for an ensemble more suited to his style.

Seven years later he finally finished the project and performed it 100 years after its original composition. This is the biggest project he has ever undertaken.
