Hello, hello! An ultra quick note to let you know that my song "Turning Page" (iTunes, AmazonMP3) was featured on the TV show, "So You Think You Can Dance" last night (Wed. 7/11/2012)!!! It was choreographed by the lovely Sonya Tayeh, and danced to by contestants Tiffany & George (if you're a fan of the show, vote for 'em often - they did, and will keep doing a wonderful job!). In case you missed it, here's the clip:
Hope you're enjoying your Summer!!
Tons o' love, Ryan - Sleeping At Last

PS. here's a list of stuff i love right now:
1. Monsters Ate My Condo (iPhone game with a crazy concept - currently addicted) 2. Upcoming Movies (batman, the hobbit, james bond, spiderman, pixar's brave, the bourne legacy.. not a bad year) 3. Moonrise Kingdom (i love wes anderson, and i might call this film my favorite of his yet) 4. Cello (i just bought my 1st cello and i adore it. i'm no good at it, but i sure do love it)
while touring with the ever-awesome, christina perri last month, the very kind folks at Altar TV came out to the show and filmed it, as part of their excellent live performance features on their website (by the way, dig around their site - really great stuff!) they chatted with me about my song "tethered" (never mind my nonsense bumbling) and filmed me and my lovely band playing it that night, at the carnegie music hall in munhal, PA.

Hey guys! So, as a kid I devoted countless hours of my life playing video games. Nintendo games like "Little Nemo," "Mega Man" and "Contra" - all have a special place in my heart. Which is why the idea of turning a few Sleeping At Last songs into 8-bit (Nintendo-style) music felt like such a fantastic idea!!
As homage to my childhood summers of video games and fun, I proudly present you with this FREE Summer Surprise EP entitled, "8-Bits" available now for a limited time on NoiseTrade!
My pals, Steven Padin and Mike Carroll from an insanely talented band called The Reign of Kindo made this possible! They spent many hours over the last year and a half converting these songs note by note to make the most authentic 8-bit versions as possible. They did a truly fantastic job!
The "8-Bits" EP features 1 song from each of my records, magically transformed into retro Nintendo-style video game music:
1. Currents (from "Ghosts") 2. Umbrellas (from "Keep No Score") 3. Porcelain (from "Storyboards") 4. Next To Me (from "Yearbook")
(EP Includes the original recordings of each song too!)
Huge thanks to Steven and Mike! Please take a moment to check out The Reign of Kindo's excellent music here!! and here!! and here!!
DOWNLOAD "8-BITS" EP FREE HERE: Happy Summertime!! Many more announcements coming throughout the Summer!
Much love, Ryan Sleeping At Last
