Ryland Bouchard

Skyscraper magazine described his first release as "Quite possibly the year's most arresting experimental pop record, They Ate Themselves is a dizzyingly vibrant trip through death and multi-layered dissonance".

"[5] Punk Planet followed suit describing the album as "A hypnotic two-disc record that will score your twisted nightmares and fanciful dreams.

The avant-garde album primarily consisted of sparse clarinet lines mixed with minimal percussion and falsetto vocals by Bouchard.

"[14] In 2008, Bouchard released Seeds a hand-crafted limited edition box set with close to two hours of music (divided between an A-Sides CD/vinyl and a B-Sides CD), a DVD of Super 8 videos, four 7" vinyl records, letter-pressed lyrics, a hand silk-screened shirt, bag, poster, and a set of illustrations by his longtime collaborator Daniel Gibson.

In early 2009, Bouchard completed a Take-Away Show video session for La Blogothèque where he performed songs from Seeds.

Using mostly a Braun Nizo S580 and Kodak Ektachrome 64T film, the videos include footage from various locations throughout Europe, Mexico and the United States.

Completed without digital effects the films rely heavily on time lapse, slow motion and other experimental filmmaking techniques.
