From the Sky
Absorbing influences from his daily life, Ryan delivers on this album with his distinct ‘upbeat’ mantra of warm and elegant music for the soul. In typical Farish fashion, Ryan delves into various themes of world-beat, new-age and spiritual sounds awash with his lush piano melodies and powerful minimalistic approach. From the opening "The Promise," a simple piano line pairs with indigenous vocal chants; segueing into lush break-beat washed with beautiful synths. Bouncing beats and bubbling basslines invigorate "Joy;" solemn strings ebb dreamily into stunning female vocals on "Pacific Wind." Joyful Caribbean style beats and call & response style children’s choirs weave a tapestry of perfectly blended chillout electronica with an organic style.From the Skydives right in with a brilliance of light; further demonstrating Ryan’s brightest moments are yet to come. His music is introspective and reflective; giving you a glimpse into his mind; where the sky is always blue, the grass is always green and the melodies always bring a smile.
