Ryan Fiegl is a guitarist, composer, improvisor, and educator from and currently based in Denver.
His music is rooted in immersive sound design to create environments and affects that are often intense and abrasive with contrasting sparse minimalistic textures and sublime soundscapes. Current work explores disquieting themes paired with audiovisuals that invite the listener/viewer to interpret their own narrative from imagery and sound.
For over a decade, Ryan has been a dedicated educator in the Colorado region. He is currently the Head Coordinator of Guitar Studies and the Interim Director of Recording Arts at Regis University, is a lead Curriculum Developer and Teaching Artist for The Newman Center for Performing Arts’ Music Creators, and is Assistant Director of Very Young Composers Vail - a collaboration with The Playground Ensemble and The New York Philharmonic.
Ryan is an active member of The Playground Ensemble as a composer, performer, and an educator. He is a collaborator with the immersive theater and dance collective Control Group Productions, regularly works with longtime friend and mentor William Hill, and has played in a number of rock, jazz, and experimental music groups in Denver.
Ryan currently serves as faculty at The University of Denver, Regis University, and The Community College of Denver and was formally educated at Metro State University and The University of Denver in guitar performance and composition.
