Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
Ryan Flynn:
My first connection to music was certainly through my parents love for music. I was consistently surrounded by great music and was fortunate to have a piano in our home. No one else could play, but I'm pretty sure it was just there when we bought our house on Long Island. I would fool around and eventually grew to love the instrument! Once high school hit, I found myself writing and performing in a metal band with some great friends. I'd say with all of those things coming together, this was my pathway into music.
Nagamag:
Do you have any plans to follow the release of the latest single, "Outside?"
Ryan Flynn:
Yes! We have a music video for "Outside" coming out December 16th. For the music video, I've combined and edited the works of two amazing artists together; Micah Buzan, who does the beautiful animation, and Taryn Elliot, who does the amazing landscape filmography. The combination of the two really vibes with the the track and I can't wait for people to connect the visuals with the track!

Jazz Review: How Now Brown Cow – Pippity Poppity (Live)
Music Review:
“On “Pippity Poppity (Live),” How Now Brown Cow transform their eccentric melodic sensibility into something strangely seductive and immersive. A quiet sense of mystery hangs over the performance, as brass flourishes and restrained percussion scatter subtle clues without ever fully revealing the track’s intentions. The live setting adds a raw immediacy, allowing each instrumental texture to breathe naturally within the arrangement. Meanwhile, the rhythm maintains a steady, unhurried pulse, drawing the listener into a gentle sway that feels both soothing and faintly hypnotic.”

Collaboration Critique: Dumomi The Jig x TAR1Q – Soji | Afrobeats Review
Music Review:
“On “Soji,” Dumomi The Jig and TAR1Q let the melody unfold with effortless agility, slipping into the track with a smooth, almost tactile sensuality. The vocals, marked by their grainy warmth and understated passion, become the song’s emotional center, painting vivid, sunlit images that linger long after each verse fades. Beneath them, the rhythm pulses with an easy fluidity, equal parts intimate and escapist, carrying the listener like a slow drift across open water.It’s a track that moves with the ease of a warm tide, pulling you deeper into its atmosphere with every passing moment.”

Single Review: Eden Bareket – Orione | Review
Music Review:
“In “Orione,” Eden Bareket channels restless elegance into a melody that pulses with temperament and raw emotional heat. The track thrives on its dramatic swells and sudden retreats, pulling the listener into a vibrant world that feels both playful and intoxicating. Beneath it all, the rhythm section radiates a magnetic sensuality, balancing tension and release with remarkable finesse. There’s an organic freedom in the way the composition moves — less concerned with precision than with emotional momentum — allowing the body to surrender instinctively to its pulse.”

The most used instruments in Blogwave Music
In Blogwave music, synthesizers are the most common and important instrument used. Synthesizers are electronic instruments that generate sounds by creating and modifying waveforms. They can produce a wide range of sounds, including melodies, chords, basslines, and effects, and are often used to create the signature sound of Blogwave music.
Other common instruments used in Blogwave music include drum machines, samplers, and sequencers. Drum machines are electronic instruments that produce drum and percussion sounds, while samplers allow users to record and play back samples of sounds, such as drum hits or individual notes from a synthesizer. Sequencers are used to program and arrange musical patterns and can be used to create complex, layered compositions.
Guitars, basses, and other traditional instruments are also sometimes used in Blogwave music, often in conjunction with synthesizers and other electronic instruments. In some cases, these instruments may be played live, while in others they may be processed through electronic effects or played using software instruments.
Vocals: Vocals can be used in Blogwave music, but they are not always present. Some Blogwave tracks are purely instrumental, while others feature vocals as a prominent element.
In Blogwave music, vocals are often treated as just another sound source, similar to a synthesizer or drum machine. They may be processed through electronic effects to give them a particular sound or texture, or they may be used in combination with other electronic instruments to create a more layered, complex sound.
Many Blogwave tracks feature vocals that are sung or spoken in a style that is reminiscent of 1980s pop and new wave music. These vocals may be treated with effects such as reverb, delay, or vocoding to give them a retro or futuristic feel.
Overall, the use of vocals in Blogwave music is a matter of personal preference for the artist or producer creating the track. Some Blogwave tracks are purely instrumental, while others feature vocals as a key element of the sound.
Overall, the most important instrument in Blogwave music is the synthesizer, which is used to create the majority of the sounds heard in this genre. Other electronic instruments, such as drum machines and samplers, are also commonly used to shape and augment the sounds produced by synthesizers.
