Brian Ritchie

This is some of my music. After a decades-long gap, I got back into music-making in late 2016; but it was late 2019 before I started setting pieces to video. My first love was progressive rock, but most of what I do seems to be in an ambient or quasi-orchestral style. I love taking a small idea and exploring numerous variations and permutations, just finding out where it takes me, and what else it inspires.

There are quite a wide range of styles here, so I've created a number of playlists that attempt to collect pieces in a similar style:

Rock in its Myriad Formations : broadly rock
These Ones Change Quite Slowly : ambient music
Classical Pretentions : orchestral and chamber works
Oxfjord Blues : Terje Rypdal covers and inspirations
Twisted Covers : all my cover versions, from Sibelius to the Stranglers!

There are also playlists of connected suites:

The Cascades Sequence
Rising From Dark Days
A Trivial PurSuite
Three Views of the Setting Sun
