"Avalanche of Stars" (Song 4 from Fallen Ash & Embers) Releases World-Wide Tomorrow to the Streaming Sites! 

Friends & Listeners,

This toe-tapper, “Avalanche of Stars”, gets its own digital world-wide release on the streaming sites tomorrow because I decided at the last second to add it to Fallen Ash & Embers. 

Your Saves, Shares, Playlist inclusions and a follow would be wonderful since that’s how the streaming machines’ algorithms know if a song is moving humans and his helps other humans with similar taste to find it. 

That’s Kate York and Mack Starks singing with me. I love how the tender hope in Kate’s voice makes these words feel. What’s being described here are the moments “after”. A kind of sequence of vignettes. Each of us carries weather. Each of us. And it’s in intimacies and collision and hope and distance and quiet, those are the places where we find from moment to moment a kind of peace with our internal constitutions in relation to others. And ourselves.

That’s not even nearly the whole of what could be said. We’re such strange and beautiful creatures... 

Here's the beautiful cover art that Joe Maiocco designed for it!

Best always and thank you,

I always hope to surprise you guys with more than you’re expecting. So...

We’ve added a fourth song and wanted those of you that purchase music directly from artists to have it first before it releases via all the other platforms worldwide later this week. It’s meant as a show of gratitude because your welcoming of music means the world to us. Your purchasing of music keeps the engines humming, keeps our community thriving. That means you and us. All of us.

Thank you.

Always.

And thanks to Joe Maiocco for the beautiful designs again. And of course to all my brothers and sisters in creativity that helped to create this music. I hope these songs become beautiful companions for you.

Some Brief Release Info: 

Fallen Ash & Embers will only be available digitally and on all streaming and download platforms worldwide . We love the discovery that services like Youtube, Apple & Spotify offer but streaming rates are very low, so please understand how much we appreciate when you purchase music directly from us!

Fallen Ash & Embers is an EP of 3 brand new songs gathered specifically for the cooler weather of 2019. Two are collaborations, and one is self-penned. This collection is intended as a short film of sorts for the ears. It runs right around 14 minutes from start to finish. It's inspired by the moment we're in, but not tied to. It's more interested in who we'll be after this fever breaks. 

Also, it's not required (because Hans did such a beautiful job mastering Fallen Ash & Embers and it will sound great via all systems and speakers), but these songs were mixed to be listened to on old school "over-the-ear" headphones. So if you have a good pair nearby, please put them on for an immersive listening experience.

Here’s to beauty in the unexpected. Hope this brings a grin and some of that “warm lightning” to your head and chest. 

Always, 

M. Ryan
