Ryan Hendry: Composer

Graded unit project

About Me

Hello there! The name's Ryan (Rydo for those who know me).
I'm a music student just finished HNC Music at James Watt College School of Music, and I'v set this page up to use as evidence in my graded unit project, which involves 'Production & Managment in Session Work', and me being a composer. The three compositions on this just now are 40 second to 2 minute snippets of the songs, which have been composed on guitar pro 5 (sheet music available for anyone who would like it) and are in midi form, but over summer time there shall be more recordings added and hopefully some new compositions.
The three songs I have writen for my graded unit are entitled 'The Quantum Moon Child' (Jazz Fusion), 'Commander Funk 'n' Groove's Beat Down' (Funk), and finally 'Awaken the Will to Live' (Progressive Metal).
Other works I have done previously were only band material for the band 'Blood Emperor' which included the songs: Battlegrounds, Shed the Blood, Infernal Damnation, Praying to the Gods of War, F.E.A.R, Contradiction Redifined, and some more I think. These songs are not up to the standards of my present writing skills at all.
In due time, I shall use this myspace account to also include my session portfolio, which should be around late summer. I will be using it to promote my musical & guitar skills for session work, as one of my main interests and goals along with being a composer, is to become a session musician.
