Land of the Sky

Released in 2020, Land of the Sky represents a refined distillation of Ryan Farish's signature 'positive energy' electronica. While his earlier work often leaned into the upbeat structures of progressive trance, this album tilts further toward cinematic downtempo and modern new age. The record is heavily inspired by the landscapes of the American West, particularly the grandeur of mountain ranges and open skies, which is reflected in track titles like 'Mountains' and 'Sacred Mountain.' Farish utilizes high-definition digital production to create a sound that is exceptionally clean and transparent, a hallmark of his independent label, Rytone Entertainment. Critically, the album is noted for its ability to bridge the gap between functional 'focus music' and emotionally resonant artistry, maintaining a high level of melodic sophistication throughout its twelve tracks. It stands as a centerpiece in his later catalog, emphasizing atmosphere and texture over dancefloor utility.
