Myopic is the solo project from instrumentalist Jeff Ryan (Sarah Jaffe, St. Vincent, The New Year, Pleasant Grove, Crushed Stars) who recorded and co-produced the record with engineer Stuart Sikes (Cat Power, Modest Mouse, Califone). The project originally began due to Ryan being asked to write a piece of music for a theatrical production (Edmund), which ran in Seattle’s Open Circle Theater. Those initial ideas eventually progressed into writing more sounds and pieces and also by collaborating w/ members of Pleasant Grove, The Theater Fire, The Paper Chase, baboon and Crushed Stars, resulting in the Plays in Pieces EP.
