Influences
Infinity, Rapture, Betamax tape, Fritz Lang, The horizon, Dark matter, Inacurate visions of the future, Broken math, Alternate dimensions, Failed inventions, Facial exercise videos, Eunace Hutheart, Knightmare, The year '199X'.. and the infinite void that both seperates and connects us all.
We like to make big showy noises. We like fusing organic and electronic. We like to trip the light fantastic across entire scape of music itself. We tend not to think in genres. We juxtapose the various elements however see see fit. Our sole objective is to create the kind of music we want to hear that doesnt exist yet.
The only way we can make a success making the music we love is through word of mouth, so if you like what you hear, tell your friends, see us live, get involved! you can make a difference to our lives.. and hopefully, humbly, as is our aim, we can make a difference to yours.
Happy listening.

"..Atmospheric, glorious and challenging.. from the shimmering ethereal beauty of I Dont Know What I Did Last Summer, to the Daft Punk-esque stomp of the addictive Delorian Daze, there's something here for everyone.
Absolutely Fantastic." -NARC MAGAZINE
"..Brilliant and ridiculous.. ..controlled craziness that simply delights the ears.. The combination is nothing short of addictive,.. I, for one, can't get enough.. a winning combination.. They make music that sounds like they need an exclamation point at the end of their name.. Ryoga! is evidence that we need not give up on new post-rock bands.. The release has variety, creativity, and energy, all the while maintaining a consistently high standard of quality.. Whether you're looking for a refreshing twist on contemporary music or for a new lens to turn on the old, there is something here for you. It's safe to get excited about post-rock again.." -thesilentballet
