Bio
Dark Reflector is the deep-groove, synth heavy, solo project of long-time Portland based multi-instrumentalist Ryan Cross. Composed and performed with analog & digital synthesizers, sequencers / drum machines, live loops, acoustic percussion and piano.
SIRENS, the first EP released March 20th, 2024 was written and recorded while Cross was diagnosed with a stage-4 cancer. SIRENS features six, potent tracks that grapple with mortality, life choices, re-wiring the human condition, and finding light in the darkest of times.
SIRENS was recorded live in Portland, Or. and mixed/mastered by long-time friend and local music staple, Rob Oberdorfer (Badger Music, Ages & Ages, Loch Lomond, The Standard).
Cross' melodramatic, low-register voice combined with the down-tempo, synth driven compositions has a dark-pop value that is reminiscent of early 80's wave with a modern trip-hop quality.
