Biography

Ryan Pollie can’t stop experimenting. It was only a matter of time until a mid-30s Pollie entered the world of ambient tape loops. His latest endeavor, The Fridge and The Fridge 2 are a collection of hand-crafted tape loops mixed live off of a Tascam Portastudio 4 track. The films have been installed at Lauren Powell’s Gallery in Hollywood as well as performed live at Gold Diggers, Zebulon, and Club Tee Gee in LA. In the tradition of William Basinski and Brian Eno, the loops were created as an exploration into the unknown. Pollie started each piece with a simple phrase or passage and built on it from there, often capturing the exact opposite of what he'd hoped. “In recording this way, you can never predict what is going to fly from the air to the magnetic tape, and the timing is hard to get down,” he shared. “The medium is limiting but freeing, compositionally challenging, and also novel to me. It was a beautiful experience to let go of intention in this way and create something ‘by accident’.” Following The Museum at the End of Time (Perpetual Doom, 2020), and The Fridge, The Fridge 2 is Pollie’s next ambient work meant to induce a sense of calm. This summer be sure to look out for The Academy of Light, a new large intuitive music ensemble stared by Pollie and close friends.
