Ryan Nicholas Berretta – Producer, Composer, Musician & Remixer: Ryan has over two decades of composition experience and operates rnberretta.com and his music fan page. Reaching for the keys of his grandmother’s organ before he could walk, he received his first piano at the age of 3. Self-taught & performing by ear, his foundational roots grew from classical favorites like Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Tchaikovsky & more. By the age of 12 he was finding interest in every instrument he could spend time with and he began documenting ideas and arrangements of various new instrumental ensembles. He entered a studio for the first time to record a piano piece for a label’s upcoming record release when he was 16. From that point forward, Ryan found himself passionately inspired to teach himself audio production, sound design & Foley recording. Ryan has traveled the world sharing and evolving his original productions as combinations of Electronic, Experimental & Classical with the influence of over fifty plus countries and styles. As a One Community partner Ryan is applying is musical talent to the audio tracks of One Community’s time-lapse videos related to our open source tools, tutorials, and resources.
