Composer and performer Ty Warner has released “Nora’s Jump,” his second instrumental recording. The song was written especially for Warner’s granddaughter, Nora, giving the recording a deeply personal meaning and making the release a celebration of family as well as music. The new single brings together vintage guitar tones, modern studio production, and a collaborative team of musicians and producers.

The recording features a collaborative effort with Wyoming Wave Studios, which provided the foundational production track. Asha Henshaw, a recent graduate of the Berklee College of Music, contributed to the project with background vocals and her musical and production expertise. Henshaw also handled the recording’s mixing and mastering, taking the project from the initial tracks through to the finished master.

“Nora’s Jump” features three distinct guitar tracks, each selected to contribute a different tone and character to the arrangement.

The primary rhythm guitar was recorded using a rare 1981 Ibanez “Ragtime” guitar. The second guitar track features a 1971 Gibson J-40 played in Drop D tuning, adding depth and resonance to the composition. The melody was then layered using a 1979 Ovation 1116-4 Concert Classic nylon-string guitar, providing a contrasting tonal quality to the arrangement.

Henshaw took the three guitar tracks recorded at Wyoming Wave Studios and developed them into the finished arrangement with an expressive and carefully crafted production approach. Her contribution helped capture the atmosphere and musical feel Warner envisioned for the recording.

“The goal was to capture a particular feeling and let the character of these guitars come through,” said Warner. “Working with Wyoming Wave Studios and Asha allowed the original tracks to develop into something much bigger than I had initially imagined.”

The release of “Nora’s Jump” follows Warner’s first instrumental recording and continues his exploration of instrumental music built around distinctive guitar sounds and collaborative studio production. The song’s inspiration as a piece written for his granddaughter adds a personal story to the project and reflects the connection between music, family, and creativity.

“Nora’s Jump” is available beginning September 18, 2026, on major music and media platforms. A digital copy may also be purchased directly through Warner’s website, and it comes with the song’s official sheet music as a free bonus item.
