Hi!
My name is Ronnie, but I make art under the name Torna. I’m a producer, songwriter, and engineer based in Brooklyn. I was told I should update my website, but for some reason I’m strangely insistent about using a clunky version of WordPress rather than a nice-looking Squarespace situation, or just hiring someone to build the thing for me like a dang adult. Hopefully you’ll assess my abilities based on the music I make and not my lack of web design chops? A selected works list can be found on the Bio & Credits page, and/or follow me on Instagram if you’re angling for more-regular goings-on. Here are a random smattering of Tumblr-style updates:
