It’s been quite a while since Ryan Teague’s last album ‘Coins & Crosses’ from Type imprint in 2006. According to his own web site, Ryan Teague described himself as a Bristol based composer, producer and guitarist working in the field of electro-acoustic minimalism. His music combines contemporary arrangements and instrumentation with electronics and processing.

If you have heard his last album that packed with some beautiful and minimal modern classical composition stuff, you will be very surprised in the first seconds of listening this new album……no more those contemporary classical orchestral stuff this time and instead is those refreshing cool American Primitivism pioneer John Fahey-like avant garde finger pick acoustic guitar stuff……..when you think the album will be going to be folk and blue influenced, Ryan Teague’s works will remind you he is still a contemporary composer rather than a avant garde guitarist…..he just makes use of such cool finger pick stuff to process and loop them into some cool ambient composition music……though a bit over and boring for looping things some times, Causeway is still a very ambitious and impressive collection of works!!
