About Me

Hi, I'm Ryan, and I'm a composer. Okay, so composer may not be the term. I compose contemporary chamber music, create music-based chance performance and installation art, write music-integrated plays, I'm a singer-songwriter (except when I singer sings my songs, then I'm a pianist-songwriter... sometimes...), and I do a great deal of thinking. I like philosophy a little too much. But then, I can make up for much of the apathy and lackadaisical attitudes that MTV forces society to chew on every day.I tend to push myself way too hard. But I survive.If you get a chance, visit my music myspace, too, at www.myspace.com/dinorrific . It needs updated, but it exists.
