Normally I’d edit footage like this but there’s something to be said about seeing things as they are - unfiltered unedited: exactly as it came to be.
This is footage of me taken by @damien_photovision while I recorded verse 3 (feels like a bridge) of my song She (link in bio).
This song means quite a lot to me as the pain that had to occur for me to write it make it hard for me to both play and or sing this song.
I’m here to say that there’s beauty in the rawness/realness of life, that every season good or bad shall pass.
If this behind the scenes moment touched you please pre-save this song - it shows the Spotify editors why it should be play-listed 💜❤️💜❤️
And it doesn’t cost you anything :)

(*Reposting apparently the audio guy in me ran out of ram and raised the volume to max on export 😆)

What can I say about the Cadenza band?
Phenomenal 🔥🥵🌶️☀️♨️❤️🔥
As Composer/Arranger/Conductor/Lyricist (kidding 😉) of Cadenza I’m blown away every time we play together.
This is my piece - A Whole Lotta Tate’
Inspired by a Instagram live jam I had with film director @thunderboltbuddha ❤️
Can’t wait for the world to see this masterfully directed short by @jin_isok
Produced by the chillest producer I know @jacob_boparai
Since there’s only one Ricardo (🤷♀️) can anyone guess what track is missing for me to lay down on this song ? Let me know in the comments 🔻
#ricardomusicstudio
Todays tasks:
Write a western, write a sci-fi piece, write a modern reflective piece.
I rarely compose on guitar as I’m more confident on piano but I actually like how this turned out!
This is part of the score of the film “The Endless Potential In Playing Pretend” directed by @xo_heartbreakgirl and written by @melanie.j.germain
Can’t wait to watch the films premiere next week!
#ricardomusicstudio

You’ve seen the stories.
You’ve heard her voice.

One
We are one
Always one
We are one
Light
Fills the dark
When we’re lost
We are found
Sing
Sacred songs
We belong
When we sing
#ricardomusicstudio
Created for story guild during the pandemic year with @sacredcanopysociety finally got a recording of this 💎
I can’t say thank you enough to @sabriellemcf for absolutely making this little hymn come
to life - your voice is a rare talent that is a gift to my ears ❤️🙏🔥
@lonniedelisle maybe a contender for UGC? Hahaha
This song was created for story guild (@sacredcanopysociety) from the Oxyrhynchus hymn original text converted to song and arranged by me.
Lyrics:
(Verse)
Oo
Let the world be silent
Let the stars not shine
Oo
Calm the winds and the rivers
Let the noise die down
(Chorus)
Let us praise:
Praise the Father
Let us praise:
Praise the son
Let us praise:
Praise the spirit
(Ending)
We sing:
All together as one
Amen, Amen.

Cover of one of the greatest songs ever written by the phenomenal @lcdsoundsystem
Vancouver I love you, but you’re bringing me down
Vancouver I love you, but you’re bringing me down
We got money to burn, God when will we learn
Vancouver I love you, but you’re bringing me down
Vancouver your bullsh*t, and your rent is a crime
The foreign invest, and our last mayor resigned
You keep opening doors, for those who are bored
The streets have good drugs, and endless bad times
Vancouver you’re perfect, no please don’t change a thing
Vancouver I love you, but you’re bringing me down
Vancouver I love you, but you’re bringing me down
Like east Hastings at night, Jesus run for your life
But you’re still the one place where I’d happily freeze
And oh, take away the tinder dogs
The photos on the mountaintops
Yeah those the ones I know you’ve got
Maybe I’m wrong and maybe I’m right
Maybe you’re wrong, and maybe I’m right
Maybe you’re right, and maybe I’m wrong
And if so and if so, if SO…
If you enjoyed it spread the love and share it! Thanks for watching 😊🙏💕

I usually forget to capture these little moments -
Where I say something off the cuff that’s in my head.
Hopefully this is helpful to more than just one person 😊
If not enjoy me struggling to explain why you should record the bass and alto part before solidifying the melody 😅🤷♀️
This is the type of play I get to engage in when I’m not writing music - if you’d like this kind of work done on your next studio session hit me in my dms🤙
#ricardomusicstudio
It is hard to capture a moment truly. What it is to be captivated and lost in every universe every thread that Roland (@connor.riopel) and Marianne (@marie_issermann) find themselves in.
This is a show that you must see, touching on the highs and lows of humanity. The ebbs and flows of a relationship. Cosmology, quantum, and much much more.
Come and see Constellations Online and in person for the next three days.
See you tonight,
Tickets in bio 🐝✨

First of all thankful for @adela_drabek @azrieldalman
For lending me their voices as VO in this piece 🎶
This pieces chaotic timeless nature encapsulates the almost mystic feel of Constellations.
It was incredibly fun to make and I recommend other sound designers blending vo sfx and music together going forwards and backwards to sell that timeless effect. Chaos is brilliant if you balance it and craft it like a conductor leading an orchestra.
For how this piece works in context 👀
Tickets to Constellations in bio.
See you online and in the theatre 🎭 💻 🐝 ✨
#ricardomusicstudio
Thank you @fabulisttheatre
For this wonderful song.
I had an audition recently that required a musical song and this was the one I needed to sing.
Wish I brought this raw sweetness when I sang this for #alltogethernow
But it’s nice to have found it.
