Music

Four releases, 2013 to 2025 — Latin American repertoire, jazz standards, Coste preludes, and a Christmas suite for guitar duo, solo, and quartet.

“Rhayn's technique is faultless but it's the feel and emotion that he gets from each piece that's so magical. And it's that which makes 'Paris' such a joy to listen to.”

Angel EP 2013

Five Latin American pieces for solo guitar — Pujol, Lauro, Brouwer, Piazzolla, Barrios — recorded on a Michael Gee guitar in the weeks after my daughter was born.
