Ricardo Donoso is a talented artist hailing from Boston, Massachusetts. With a unique blend of electronic and experimental music, he has carved out his own distinctive sound that captivates listeners around the world.

This eclectic mix allows him to create compositions that are both atmospheric and immersive.

With his authoritative presence in the music industry and an ever-growing fan base worldwide,<en>Ricardo Donoso</en> continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be an electronic artist. His innovative approach to sound design combined with his technical prowess sets him apart as one of the most exciting musicians in the contemporary scene.

Ten years after the transcendent syncopated debut ‘Progress Chance’, Ricardo Donoso returns with a pulsing retrospect of rhythmic determination and wide-eyed wonder with ‘Progress Trap’. The moods on these electronic miniatures vary from piece to piece; some somber, brooding, and laden with mystery, others starry-eyed, tinged with sci-fi, and hungry for adventure.

Connections are finally forged between Donoso’s early hardware synthesizer arpeggiation experiments, his darker and more abstract work with an emphasis on synthetic textures, pulsation, and sound design and the more recent extreme full throttle electronic mayhem and prog inspired technical opuses. 

Progress Trap is as harmonious as its predecessor allowing dissonance to subtly seep in, providing mere hints at the undercurrent of threat hidden beneath the music's smooth surface. There's a lot to digest on Progress Trap, as with Donoso’s entire canon, but as always, the effort is repaid.
