Ryan is breaking new territory with Everlasting by expanding the depth of his music; incorporating live guitar, percussion, strings and bass with his signature piano melodies. The first thing you’ll notice is the warm live bass permeating on album starter “Together We Will Conquer” as it segues into syncopated percussion rhythms. Each song breathes from dense instrumentation to expansive openness; drifting from intense moments to lullaby peacefulness; combining elements of upbeat break-beats, lush synth washes, deep rolling bass and Ryan's beautiful melodies. “Young at Heart” builds from the brisk-paced percussion into ebbing strings that balance the song into a vibrant, upbeat number. Show stopper “Watch the Sky” ups the ante with a soft guitar lead accompanying his piano – showcasing Ryan's multi-instrumental skills. Album closer “Everlasting Light” brings Ryan back to his roots with a very simple piano outro – demonstrating his growth and ability to deliver a stunning album of simplistic beauty.
