For well over a decade, Ryan has been studiously, methodically, prodigiously, and obsessively honing his craft. In addition to his post-secondary classical music training, Ryan’s experience as a writing, recording, and touring member of several well-recognized Northwest bands, affords him invaluable perspective and insight into every stage of the studio experience: from writing and arranging, to achieving the best instrumental tones and getting the best takes out of a performer.

Working primarily out of his own Echoplant Studio is one of the ways Ryan can help artists keep their recording budget from soaring out of control. Don’t be fooled, though. This is no basement hobby studio. Echoplant (designed by Dave Thomas and the late John Vrtacic) consists of a sizeable live room, dedicated control room (running Pro Tools HD), echo chamber, iso-booth and small sitting area.

Few people have the ability to capture an artist’s ideas, potential and goals, turning them into a superior finished product that exceeds expectations. Ryan does this naturally and consistently in a professional and efficient manner, regardless of the project size or genre. This fact is confirmed by an ever-growing list of satisfied return clients and is the reason bands from all over Canada and the US are seeking out his highly cultivated auditory senses.
