Currently, Brendan is preparing to release Yutori, an experimental, meditative, and cinematic album. Inspired by Brian Eno’s ambient works, Erik Satie’s melodic style, and Thomas Newman’s film scores, Yutori blends string quintets, woodwinds, horns, layered vocals, processed keyboards, and soft piano into an introspective and atmospheric listening experience. The album reflects themes of grief, inner peace, and escaping present-day distractions while leaving interpretation open to the listener. In collaboration with artist/animator Jack Powell, Brendan has paired many of the album’s tracks with “video collage art,” crafted from vintage public domain footage such as educational materials, propaganda, old home videos, and 1930s–1950s commercials. This fusion of music and visuals will culminate in the release of Yutori in 2025. While continuing to work with his brother, Brendan has also ventured into solo projects. In 2022, he released Here As A Guest, an instrumental solo piano album that featured “Under The Sun,” a track prominently included in The Greatest Beer Run Ever starring Zac Efron, Russell Crowe and Bill Murray. Beyond his solo endeavors, Brendan has contributed string and horn arrangements for The New Pornographers and worked on projects for Okkervil River and Vampire Weekend. Most recently, he composed the Main Title Theme for Keanu Reeves’ Roku docuseries, The Arch Project: Visionaries, set to released in 2025.…Brendan Ryan is a multifaceted musician and composer, best known as one half of Ryan Brothers Music, alongside his brother Billy.
