Ryo Utasato and Shade Law The Magic Behind Their Album

Ryo’s Home Studio is a perfect balance between technical and actual instrumentation. While Shade remains high tech in programming with Native Instruments, Sony Acid 5, and Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD. Both Artists however, do come together in harmony with Shade’s intensity and Ryo’s depth of soul; they end up making a fantastic Soundtrack collaboration.  In their own individual rights, they both are consummate professionals and hail from the Motion Picture Industry.

Ryo Utasato is a composer, singer and writer. Ryo began listening to the music of her father's classical guitar, and her mother's folk singing along with the samisen from the age of 3. Her grandfather is half Japanese Ainu and at the age of 14 Ryo started singing in a rock band and by 18 she was singing professionally with a foreign artist and appearing on Japanese TV. At 28 her career expanded to include composing music for film and television, such as the theme for World Heritage, and others. Her original soundtracks have been used in sci-fi, historical, drama, horror and action films & TV. As a singer, her style is best identified with world music, ethnic singing, and ancient singing of Japan, healing new age, pop and rock. She respects the history and culture of all races on this earth which is deeply expressed in her music. 

 

Shade Law is brand new to the Internet Music scene; she basically started to write Music because of You Tube's rules and regulations about Music with Video. Not really understanding why certain Music could not be used.... a good friend of hers suggested that she writes her own. Hence Shade started her own adventure at Reverbnation with her trusted band members, "MAGIX16 AND ACID5, "Cakewalk," Samplitude Silver Soundcloud Edition, and Native Instruments, just joined her team of technology. Shade now enjoys her own Music with the Films and Videos she creates with her Film-Video Partner at Striking Concept Films-Video and her own Film Company Knight Productions [a Social Concern Film Company,] as well. Anything to not get into trouble at You Tube LOL. 

Now, being retired from Warner Brothers Studios… Shade focuses on not only writing music through technology but once she started Devotions Recording; Shade now wishes to enhance her Artists through Film and Videos. Ever mindful of what works in Film [which is her Labels chief concern] she presses ever forward to hit that pentacle of quality which could open the doors to Games and Films. “If you can make it in Film, you can make it anywhere,” is what her old Teacher and Boss Larry Lashanski always taught her, and her mind cannot be shifted from that lesson. Film is the pentacle; all other modems are just that, other avenues. Because the standard of Gaming is now equal to Films [because of Adobe After Effects] it is a Market that she studies for the potential of her Artists and herself to enter.

Ryo and Shade met at Reverbnation and started a deep friendship as they enjoyed each others work, Shade asked Ryo if she could do a Video for one of her works, and from there they began to work on "East Meets West," it was Ryo who then suggested after the completion of the song "East Meets West" that they do an entire Album. Hence "East Meets West the Album" came about. Produced at two ends of the World LUNE Muzik.JP where Ryo resides and Devotions Recording in the US where Shade resides. Two worlds, many experiences, enjoy “East Meets West theAlbum." "Thank You For Your Kind Support and Purchase of our Digital Download."
