Pretty City Lights is the music of Ryno, an American songwriter and DIY recording artist living in Seoul, South Korea. Ryno plays everything on his songs, makes all the videos, and mixes everything—mostly from his home studio.
Here’s some video stills from the production. Ryno set up video cameras on nearly every moment of this production. These will become available over time to subscribers.
The drums were recorded at JM Studio in Seoul. Everything else was ‘stolen studio’ time, recording in some unusual spaces, stairwells, parking garages, etc.
