RYAT began in 2006 in Philadelphia, where Teleaer met DJ/producer King Britt, who encouraged her to produce her own music using Ableton Live. [9] She studied music programming, producing and hosted improvisation sessions playing with the older jazz fusion artists, Calvin Westin and Elliot Levin . [9] Taylor McFerrin inspired her to create a live producers set up with Ableton, inspiring her to loop her music productions live. [9] She met jazz musician, Tim Conley at a jam session at his house and started a band called As Human. [9] After their band As Human split, she asked Conley to join her on tour. [9]
In 2009, Ryat released the debut album, Street Noise Orkestra. [10] Her second album, Avant Gold, was released in 2011. [11] Her live show got the attention of Flying Lotus, who later invited her to join his label, Brainfeeder. [12] She relocated to Los Angeles and was inspired by the natural surroundings and mysticism. [10] Her third album, Totem, was released on the label in 2012. [13] In 2015, she released music written for a Mixed Media show with dancers, projection mapping and interactive sensory technology, Alt Mode, which debuted in Central Park in 2015. [14] In (2021) she started a new project, titled Christina Teleaer, which focused more on song writing and composing, compared to RYAT, which is very experimental in nature. [15] [16] [17]
Ryat, is known for "maximalist production" in approach, [18] often experimenting in electronics, vocal looping, and lush soundscapes. [19] She has been compared with the artists like Björk. [20] The music has been described as "beat couture". [21]
