Currently composing the music for the theatrical performance of The Three Musketeers by the Duluth Playhouse. Going rather cinematic, but with a touch of 17th Century harmonies and sounds… Should be fun!

I recently discovered Tim Exile through Warp Records YouTube Channel, and I must say that any song that integrates a clever tempo modulation seems to catch my attention. I mean, really catches my attention – maybe it’s the music nerd in me? I’m not sure, but in any case, I’ve been listening to Family Galaxy by Tim Exile over and over – I’m not even sure if there’s much I like other than the tempo modulations… In any case, thought I’d share.
Here it is: Tim Exile “Family Galaxy”

Just for the holidays, here’s a free mp3: Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht! Remix 2008 (3.2mb mp3 file)
It is more closely based on the original melody by Franz Xaver Gruber, composed in 1818 and based on the text written by Rev. Joseph Mohr in 1816. Of course, this version is considerably more modern in arrangement and sound (more of a sound sculpture imitating the melodies). Enjoy!
I need to figure out what I’m going to do about the abandoned Sonic Sculptures 2008…

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):
Antiquichrome || Ryan Rapsys
Deep explorations into microsound electronic ambience.
Free-form glitches, bleeps and distortions for the open-minded listener.
