AIM FOR THE HEART...
From soulful solo guitar pieces to Epic soundtrack-infused rock with a world music twist and a dash of electronic seasoning, Ring covers a lot of ground stylistically. but Like the 19th century painter marc chagall said,
“If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing,”
the one constant is that he makes it his priority to aim from the heart and to aim for the heart.
RING IS currently working on a series of "micro-albums" that, IN A CALL-BACK TO HIS CHILDHOOD PASSION, incorporate storytelling in A DIGITAL, SEMI-ANIMATED comic book format OVER HIS ORIGINAL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.
"THE POINT IS TO CONNECT WITH THE LISTENER, TO HELP THEM ENGAGE THEIR HEARTS. STORY IS SUCH A POWERFUL WAY TO DO THAT AND MY MUSIC TENDS TO LEND ITSELF TO THAT NATURALLY. I HAVE A FEELING 2020 IS GOING TO BE A FUN RIDE...!"
