What people are saying about the 7":
"Side A is home to an up-tempo funk/dance track driven by a smooth bassline. As far as production skills go this man has got em." "About The Rain lives on Side B of this 7. Cryteria [...] packs this tune full of subleties that are a genuine pleasure to listen to." James Dorahy, Ozhiphop.com
"All in all, this is nice indie effort from a part of the world I thought only had trees and rabid animals." Dj Verb, GroundLiftMag.com
"[If] you're a fan of Dj Shadow or Prefuse 73, then definitely check this out." T.May, Underrated Magazine.
Crytearia (Ren Rizzolo), is a Hobart born hiphop and electronic music producer. Born in 1985, his first explorations in music making began around 2000. Crytearia picked up a musical ear at an early age, a result of growing up with a family of musicians and music lovers. Crytearia's influences stem from a wide variety of genre; from funk to new wave to rock to 80s electro pop.
Crytearia has worked and played alongside a number of local Tasmanian artists over the years. Crytearia's self produced, scratched and rhymed debut CD 'Create' is a compilation of tracks written and recorded throughout 2002/2003.
Over the last few years Crytearia has focused mainly on creating instrumental music, and in late 2004 work began on an instrumental album entitled LandScrape. With LandScape Crytearia hopes to explore the boundaries of hiphop and electronic music; opening peoples minds and touching a wider audience.
In June 2006 Crytearia released a 7" single from LandScrape (Enuffunk b/w About the Rain). The full length LandScrape album will be released on cd around late 2007. It features guests Tempest, Crixus and Thorts.
