…a legendary ‘difficult artist,’ an instinctive genius so broadly talented he could apparently only be acknowledged in alleyway whispers, – Camden Joy, Puncture 32

Collapsing Opposites is the name used to describe much of the creative output of Vancouver-based artist Ryan McCormick. The musical group is s modular collective that resizes and shifts to present quirky, enigmatic music covering notions of space and time, the awkwardness of growing up, analyses of meaning and value, the place of artists within society and the state of the music scene as it currently exists. They’ve toured extensively throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico and Japan, have a growing fanbase and discography.
