Thank you so much!

Thanks so much! Appreciate the love :)

Thank you for all the support recently, it hasn't gone unnoticed!! I am thankful to have had a pretty good range day when I recorded this :)

Thanks, I really love the arrangement on this one!

Yes, I recorded all the parts! :)

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it :D

Thank you so much!!

Oddly enough, aside from the high D at the end (which unfortunately is pretty close to the edge of my range depending on the day), I found the tenor part the easiest to record! But I'm sure having sung it hundreds of times while writing it probably had a pretty big impact haha. Thanks for listening as always! :)

That sounds awesome! Shoot me an email at [email protected] with some more information so we can chat :)

@@ryancomposition I went ahead and sent an email.

Thank you so much! Funnily enough, I think my past self just be blown away that i’m writing for vocal music. Thanks for listening :)

Inspiring! It’s funny how a career develops. I never thought I’d arrange for big bands but it happened. Just like you and vocal. The Big Guy leads us where we need to be! Never fight it…just go with it.

because you're used to 12-tone equal temperament. their intervals are actually more accurate

the irony here is tuning is MORE of a priority in Barbershop than in most other genres. Barbershop is based on pure intervals that lock into a root pitch, instead of a tempered system where all the notes are equidistant from each other

Tuning is a priority for most quartets, just not Masterpiece lol (kidding of course, they’re world champs)

Glad you liked it! Thanks for sticking around:) I agree i think i put in a lot more effort into the last half or so and that’s where my personal favorite section is so i don’t blame you one bit

THEY'RE MODULATIONS, MARIE

Thank you! I'm really happy with how it all turned out :)

Haha yeah funnily enough after I had mentioned that my lyrics weren't personal I started to make more of the connection myself that the lyrics are incredibly personal and rode with it! I'm really happy with the direction my writing is going in even if the writing process is super slow. Thank you so much for your support through all my videos, it means the world! :)

Thank you :) appreciate the support!

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words :)

Honestly I'm not too sure what I'm writing anymore. I feel like I've been riding the line of barbershop and I've grown less comfortable calling it that since it's a weird gray area. The last two pieces I put out I honestly can't remember the inspiration since I wrote them a while ago, just never got around to recording them. I know now I'm working on something that I'm leaning towards releasing that has been a product of a bunch of barbershop that I've been listening to paired with non-barbershop music.

@@ryancompositionwhatever it is, knowing you, it’s going to be fantastic! I can hardly wait. You keep getting better and better. It’s a treat to follow your musical progression.

When I write music I'm not really writing a story or anything. I just go where my ear takes me harmony/melody wise and sort of throw on lyrics where they fit so none of the music I write is super personal :)
