"Very nice, Ryan. I can't believe you have managed to decode my logic file so exactly. This is magic. The piano part is excellent (and) I recognise your fine orchestration work."

Bjørn Norvall Hoemsnes, Composer. Skoppum, Norway.

 

"I recently composed music for the Sphaera Ensemble in Brazil. I met Ryan Youens by chance through his website. I never thought our collaboration would be so accurate, quick and magnificent. Ryan is a very talented musician, he understands exactly what I like in my music. He orchestrated my fugue in a very short time and in a marvelous way. I'd recommend to anyone as he made the job very quick, clean and without the need to make corrections. Most of all, he understands the feeling of the music which I gave him. The concert was a great success."

Alexandros Pappas, Composer. Athens, Greece.

 

"Ryan is certainly a talented composer and a delight to work with. He is very reliable considering that with my project he had a very short notice yet he did an amazing job. His artistic input added more strength to my film, Missing and I am definitely looking forward to working with him in the future. I highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking a clever and capable composer."

Mojan Javadi, Film director. Auckland, New Zealand.

 

"Ryan provides an extremely professional, efficient service. I was very pleased with the end result and the consultative nature of the process itself, which helped me clearly define what I was looking for."

Finn Brooke, Director, First Merchant Finance. Auckland, New Zealand.

 

"Ryan spent two nights and a day on my large scale orchestral score and parts. This is an extraordinary feat and I was very happy with his perfectionist approach and professional work ethics. Not only did he present the parts meticulously folded and photocopied, but he drove into town to deliver them to me at rehearsal. Bloody legend! Thanks Ryan, I shall certainly be requesting your services again. You saved me a bucket load of stress!"

Claire Cowan, Composer. Auckland, New Zealand.

 

"Ryan is a great talented musician and so sweet as a friend. Working with him brings to me more motivation and I am sure he will do exactly what I have in my mind, because he is very well prepared for this. [A] great success and certainly one of the major artist of New Zealand, and, in the future, of the world, I believe."

Alexey Kurkdjian. Conductor. Sau Paulo, Brazil.

 

"I've come across Ryan by chance on the net when I was looking for someone to help me understand more about music theory and composition for orchestras. Ryan's effective teaching approach has enabled me to understand more about music in 2 months than what I've been able to learn in the past 10 years. I found his professional etiquette towards me as his student to be quite admirable as he was able to approach different theoretical complexities from multiple angles enabling me to understand them much quicker and easier. Ryan's knowledge extends even further into the world of recording and mixing using Logic Software that he introduced me to and enabled me to give life to my very first piece I composed in title Worlds Apart. I have really enjoyed every split second working and learning from Ryan. It's been an absolute pleasure. Ryan's demeanor and his remarkable knowledge in music has made the overall learning experience for me absolutely priceless."

Vladimir Krasojevic, Composer. Auckland, New Zealand.

 

"Ryan Youens, copyist and engraver, works for me on quite a regular basis. Much of it has entailed producing full scores and individual performance parts by computer and has involved orchestral, choral, brass band and chamber music ensembles. The standard of production is very high. Ryan deals promptly with work in hand; corrections are dealt with almost by return mail; and the final delivered article is accurate and conforms to instructions. Ryans fees are reasonable. His standards are professional and, insofar as I am concerned, everything he has done has been to my entire satisfaction."

John Ritchie, Composer. Christchurch, New Zealand.

 

"A difficult editing job, very well done."

Maarire Goodall, Composer. Wellington, New Zealand.

 

"For Rubbings From a Live Man, I worked with Ryan by remote on the transcription of some sampled cello works. His communication was prompt & his work was excellent and I would have absolutely no hesitation in calling him again! Thanks Ryan!"

Marc Chesterman, Sound Designer, Composer. Wellington, New Zealand.

 

"Ryan did a fantastic job with quick transposing of parts for the Junior Orchestra. I gave the music to him on Sunday afternoon and by Tuesday the parts were all complete and in my inbox. Thanks Ryan!"

David Kay, Conductor. Auckland, New Zealand.

 

"I am basically a tunesmith and a geriatric one at that ... I was browsing thru the music notice board at Auckland University and noticed Ryan's poster ... Went home and brought up his website and the rest is history. My gals (Waiheke Piano Trio) love playing Ryan's arrangements of my melodic creations and one day I will commission Ryan to score my epic work 'China 70s Child' ... ."

Brently Ford, Composer. Waiheke Island, New Zealand.
