Minneapolis-based producer and musician Ryan Olson is best known for founding Gayngs, an ambitious collaborative project that blends electronic production with indie sensibilities and 1980s-influenced soft rock aesthetics. As the creative force behind the project, Olson orchestrates a rotating ensemble of over 20 musicians and producers, crafting lush, synth-driven soundscapes that bridge electronic and organic instrumentation.
Gayngs' expansive roster—featuring collaborators from across the Minneapolis music scene including Justin Vernon, Dessa, P.O.S, and members of Poliça—reflects Olson's collaborative approach to electronic music production. The project showcases his ability to layer synthesizers, drum machines, and live instrumentation into cohesive arrangements, positioning him as a key figure in the Midwest's experimental electronic music landscape.
