every tuesday for the next four weeks we’ll visit with ryan, the creative force behind mannequin flywalker, and take a peek into the diary of his album recording process. this week: introduction, inspiration, and instrumentation.
My name is Ryan Sommer. I am 30 years old, and I have been obsessed with music since kindergarten. I sold a winning raffle ticket for a school fundraiser at that time. The woman who bought it got a trip to Hawaii, and I got one of the first Sony portable cassette walkmans, along with Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Enough said.
I recently came into some free time after losing my job here in San Francisco. I had money saved, and gear that I have accumulated sporadically over the last eight years. When a moment presents itself and you know it’s the right time to act, it just clicks. It’s like the right pitch for a song, and you go. This was it for me. Time to record my album.
