- Summary:
- My musical background from my website:
\\\"California based music composer / producer Ryan Montgomery has been playing musical instruments of all kinds since his first introduction to the piano at age 5. He began stage performing at age 7 and continued to do so until college. In middle school he picked up the clarinet and soon moved to expand his instrument base by taking up the trumpet, saxaphone and trombone until finally settling on percussion. He continued with the percussion into high school where he played in the Jazz band, Concert band and multiple percussion ensembles.
The most pivotal time in his quest for new sounds and textures was during his sophmore year in high school when he discovered how to interface a midi keyboard with a computer. Interestingly enough Ryan transitioned from sheet music to playing freestyle without any constraights at around this time. Give him a mood and he can paint a soundscape for you or describe a scene and he can put a soundtrack to it. Due to Ryan being in touch with how music strikes a person\\\'s emotions, he has a tuned ear for the rhythm, tone, pitch, and style a song should have.
Nowadays you can find Ryan recording at his home studio using softsynths such as Propellorhead Reason 3, Cakewalk Sonar (for analogue and mixing), Cool Edit Pro (mastering) and various other musical software applications. He uses a modest M-Audio Radium 49 controller to direct the creativity into the computer. He continues to expand his skills for future use in Game scoring and Film soundtrack producing.\\\"

I also do texture work. Have been using photoshop since version 4 and loved it ever since. I was part of a large scale player project in 05\\\' to update the Tribes 1 base textures to 32-bit PNGs while keeping in theme with the original style. I am esecially adept at taking a finishined texture and grunging it up, taking into account lighting, scarring, nicks scratches, rust, dirt, mold...everything.
Voice over impressions are a hobby that I turned into a skill. I pride myself in being able to do my own takes on Russian, Irish, German, Old English, Australian, Various South American accents, Scottish, Certain Asian accents and anything you give me a clip to, I can replicate. I listen well and sound is my thing.
Some Voice impressions off the top of my head: Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy\\\'s laugh, Shaggy, Scooby, BooBoo from Yogi Bear, Bobby from Bobby\\\'s world, Jar Jar Binks, Yoda, Grover, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggie, Fonzie, Sean Connery, Orlando Bloom in LOTR, Pirates, Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid, Strongbad, The Cheat, Homestar Runner, Other homestar runner.com characters, Lilo, Megatron from Beast Wars, 343 Guitly Spark, Guy Pierce (after I hear him). and so on...
I am detail oriented when it comes to my graphics / music / voice work.
