about

i'm ryo nakata, born in 1984 in sapporo, japan. i create ambient and drone music under the name ryonkt. using guitar and digital processing, i craft immersive soundscapes that explore the delicate balance between sound and silence.

my approach focuses on minimal phrases and spatial expressions, translating everyday scenery and natural phenomena into sonic landscapes. from intimate guitar-based compositions to dense digital drones and organic analog recordings, i seek to create meditative environments that invite deep listening.
