Ryan is currently getting his Ph.D in musicology from USC's Thornton Schools of Music -- he's a scholar, composer, improvisor, and entrepreneur. He's currently managing a band "OK Music", an interactive musical group that performs and improvises music based on audience suggestion. Was looking around the USC website and ran into this place -- seems like a lot of interesting things happening here. Would be highly interested in collaborating or just having a few talks about music and how it relates to current day practices.
