Here is the link the story I was featured in on On The Road with Jason Davis: Harbor Sounds. You can view the entire video story at that link. I certainly was happy it turned out how it did…it’s a unique topic to cover with video.
And here is an older, related radio story about some of the same things I have been experimenting with (on Minnesota Public Radio – text and streaming audio): Dancing to the sounds of the Duluth harbor
And since I’m putting links to horrible interviews of myself, here’s another one where I talk about some of my compositional techniques: YouTube: Interview – Craig Blacklock and Ryan Rapsys on PBS-WDSE
If you enjoyed these stories and the music you heard, you may enjoy this album I recently released (available digitally and on CD):

Saturday, May 24th @ 10:30pm – WDIO Channel 10 (Duluth)
More information: Coming Up Sunday: Duluth Harbor
Here is what I had written earlier about my part in this episode:
The show is centered on the Duluth harbor, and my segment focuses on my recording of sounds in Canal Park and then modifying and composing music with those sounds… I was video-taped and interviewed while playing with some sounds in my studio. The resulting music I used for one of my Sonic Sculptures:
Check it out if you can…and of course, feel free to let me know what you think! Thanks!

The-Novus-Arcadia || Ryan Rapsys
“Overall, [The-Novus-Arcadia's] an immensely enjoyable experience,
and it could well become a piece of electronic art that may
be a required listen in the near future.”

Here’s the fourth Sonic Scultpure of April, 2008:
2008: 53 Sonic Sculptures – 16. April IV [2 min 0 sec, 1.83mb mp3]
This composition was created quite simply. I tuned my TV Tuner on my computer to a station that did not have much of a signal (staic with occasional blurps of voices, etc.). I recorded this sound into Adobe Audition for about 10 minutes, then I sped it up and began sculpting it. I gradually eliminated some of the harshness of the clip by gradually doing more noise reduction as well as adding reverb to smooth the sounds out toward the end.
Thoughts?
