#Petaluma Musician/Composer Chooses Chicken Farm Over Big City

Modern Farmer Magazine says Petaluma's William Ryan Fritch composes and creates his music in a century old Petaluma chicken farm.

In a recent article by Chris Martins on January 19, 2015 in the Modern Farmer Country Roads: City Musicians Are Going Rural, he writes about musician and artist William Ryan Fritch who composes and creates his music in a century old Petaluma chicken farm. He and his wife have a master bedroom in a rustic converted water tower.

His talent for creating music is incredible and his collection of music making instruments and toys are impressive. He records his music in a converted tractor garage insulated for heat and soundproofing.

According to his website, he said that in his more recent recordings you might even hear farm sounds like roosters from the next farm which is quit alright with him. He states that he finds those sounds more enjoyable than the ones he creates. While he is not making sound he and his wife garden and grow veggies.
