E. Ryan Goodman is a good friend of mine who has been residing in Brooklyn, NY for the last 6 years. More importantly, he is a fantastic and versatile guitar player. He currently indulges in the world of improvisational guitar and has recently been playing around with the sounds of the 12 string as well as classical nylon and steel string guitars. We worked together last year on his debut solo record ‘Under The Lamp’ that was released on Lone Lamp Records. E. Ryan dropped into Phoenix a few weeks back to do some recording for his next record. We burned up a bunch of tape and got some really, really great stuff in the process. It was inspiring for me as an engineer to record an inprovisational mind at the height of the creative process. We recorded a bit of stuff that he has been working on, but I was really blown away by the one-take improvs. It is this type of recording where you actually capture a ‘moment.’ And a lot of those moments were truly great. It was good to spend time in the studio with Ryan and I’m looking forward to the next few months as we work on putting his next record together. I will update here when it comes out, but until then you can find out more about Ryan here.
