Ryan LaPerle

BIO   Ryan is an Audio Production student at CDIA. He began his love affair with music at age 13. Inspired by a neighbor, who allowed him to pick up the guitar for the first time, he started taking lessons. He began writing his own songs in high school. Since then, songwriting has been his medium for expression. In 2003, he recorded his first EP called "Crashed into Infinity," a solo effort of seven originals. These days, Ryan spends most of his time writing, composing and hanging in recording studios, creating new musical poetry daily. He is currently working on his first full album and hopes to tour again very soon.

Its amazing how  busy I was, working up to the launching of the site.   Amanda, who designed it, did all the real busy Read On...

I am heading back to the studio this Sunday and hoping things will be back on again. I am now helping out a friend from my CDIA audio class. He needs to record some stuff for a band he brought in for his final project. I am excited to just get back to working on other projects and working with audio. Feel Read On...

A Real Life Live Sound Lesson

November 5, 2008 It's Thursday and I am on my way to getting over a cold. This small
bug has put the recording of my EP on hold. Since vocals are the last of
what I really need to do, and I want it done right, it's slowing the process
down. Friday I am going back in and I am like 90% sure I will be able to
perform in the studio. I have a feeling  staying up to see the Sox in the playoffs
and still playing shows on the wee Read On...
