About Me

Montreal Mirror March 2, 2006 "They say layers are the best protection against Canadian cold, and Hamilton's Ryan Ferguson takes that advice to heart. He specializes in wrapping languid guitars and keyboards in effervescent reverb and fuzz, creating ethereal soundscapes anchored by slowly soaring melodies."

Toronto Star December 3, 2005 "The compound moniker that one-man-band Ryan Ferguson has chosen to record under is more elegantly efficient than any other more expansive characterization of his music could be. The music both pulses and drifts, and exudes some of the same twinkly warmth for which the German label Morr Music has become well known. In a word, electroluminescent."
