The debut solo album from Berkeley, CA-based Ryan Francesconi works as a soundtrack for pensive, pondering times, that lets the mind drift from rigidity and schedules. A lofty, deeply atmospheric ambient musical work, "Interno" combines an assortment of electronic textures with classical and acoustic instrumentation such as the cello, violin, flute, clarinet, horns and guitar, and brandishes Balkan music as a major influence. It's a soothing, contemplative yet exploratory effort -- especially surprising considering Francesconi's career as a computer programmer and application developer. He even wrote much of the software he uses to compose his music. "Interno" is an impressive start.

Ryan Francesconi's latest release, on his partially owned label Odd Shaped Case Records, is an epic journey through sound. It is an integration of mundane string and percussion instruments, and various sound manipulation programs of his own design. It is not just ambient music to sleep to; it is the embodiment of pure emotion. Some of the tracks on the album are so painfully beautiful, it is a wonder how so many emotions can be evoked without the use of words. The third track is particularly heart wrenching. Take this album on a drive through the country. Everything will seem more beautiful.
Collin LaJoie, KJHK radio
RF is in an entirely new category of indie rock that in my opinion still contains an aura of innocence around it, a breath of fresh air if you will. His desires are clear and simple, to make beautiful music that is unable to be pigeonholed or classified into any given category. To my knowledge he is not associated with any particular music scene or style; in essence you are left with a purity of music that flows with the same subtle grace as a butterfly flaps its wings.... Like any well conceived piece of artwork, RF contains a myriad of emotions that remind us once again what it is to be human being. Interno, is a truly moving experience that I feel accurately captures a brilliant simplicity of music that is planted with delicacy, grown to new lengths, harvested into existence and cherished with beauty unsurpassed.
