In this episode, we visit the home and studio of William Ryan Fritch. He’s a musician, original film score composer, gardener, cook, and all-around amazing human.

A Visit With William Ryan Fritch at his Home and Studio

You’re in for a listening experience like no other because I’m taking you with me to the home and studio of William Ryan Fritch or Willie Ry Fry as you’ll find him on social media. He’s a composer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in Northern California.

If you’re not familiar with Williams work, he’s known for creating original film scores. Check out movies like the 2017 Oscar-nominated documentary film 4.1 Miles; the film Bill Nye: Science Guy; and Artifishal, a 2019 Tribeca nominated documentary film directed by my better half – Josh Bones Murphy — which – inside scoop – is how I first met to Willie Ry Fry.

When I described Ryan as a multi-instrumentalist I meant it. I know for a fact that when he created the music for Artifishal, he played each and every instrument, recorded them individually and then wove them together into the original score we hear in each of his films. Amazing, right? It also turns out he’s an accomplished cook and gardener.

My Conversation with William

We visit William at his home and studio in Petaluma, California. This was an incredible experience that only gets better as the hour ticks by — which is why I split our conversation into two episodes, it was the only way to fit all the good stuff in!

Episode 2, Part 1

Part one begins in William’s kitchen where he’s making a breakfast of curried potatoes and eggs for his family, here you’ll begin to get a sense for the amazing human being and cook William truly is. After breakfast, we move out to his studio to hear him play some of his instruments. These include a $5 thrift store cymbal and a broken accordion. Neat, right?

    A fascinating and fun discussion that shines a spotlight on the creative process of creating something truly unique from the kitchen to the sound studio. Well done.
