Zopp is the brainchild of composer and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Stevenson, with collaborations from Andy Tillison of prog legends The Tangent, and drummer Andrea Moneta (Leviathan).

Ryan is an award-winning composer, with credits for the music to many documentary films. In May 2019 he won Best Score in the IMDb industry-recognized American Tracks Music Awards for his work on The Perfect Gangster.

Zopp came to fruition in around 2010, born out of Ryan’s excursions into the Canterbury progressive rock scene of the 60s and 70s. As the music developed, Zopp has absorbed more influences, such as Stravinsky and Steve Reich as well as dabbling into the realm of ambient music. The sound is based upon vintage fuzz bass and Hammond organ sounds that weave with complex time signature changes and on catchy melodies, with ambient keyboard interludes to charm and relax the listener with its beguiling fusion.

"A decade in the making..." says Ryan. "I set out with the intention to bring the 70's Canterbury Scene sound into the 21st century by fusing it with ambient, jazz and classical elements, all while maintaining integrity by using the same instruments and sounds that were used on the classic albums. Egg, National Health, Hatfield and The North and Stravinsky were all massive inspirations."
