Sequester is the musical project of Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Boc. Founded in 2005, all of the material thus far has been written, performed, recorded and produced by Boc, having drawn inspiration from various genres of music including heavy and thrash metal, progressive and psychedelic rock, traditional English and Scottish folk, grunge, blues, jazz, and classical.
Sequester’s sound has been described as being both expressive and melodic, with frequent use of counterpoint and harmonized layering in both the guitar and vocal sections. The songs are usually long in duration due to progressive structuring and arrangement, utilizing numerous sectional changes throughout each piece. The lyrics range anywhere from personal topics to fantasy literature, history, folklore and mythology; generally they are sung with a clean voice— oftentimes with thrashy, more aggressive overtones.

Why this name?
Ryan Boc is my name, and Sequester is the name of my project. This site will pretty much just be used for cover songs that I've done (or will do), but I'll throw in the occassional Sequester song from time to time as well.
In regards to why I chose "Sequester," I simply found the meaning of the word to be very fitting to my style of music, and the fact that I do everything myself.

Do you play live?
I / we haven't done any gigs yet.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I got to hear bands I wouldn't have known otherwise. I love it. And it's not like it stops me from buying CD's. Have you seen my collection?
Most importantly, there's the fact that you can make music with people who don't even live near you. This is a huge change in the music industry, as it has revolutionized not only how music can be shared, but how it is made as well.
