The name derives from the French word rivage (French pronunciation: (/riːˈvɑːʒ) meaning "shore". 
 He has performed live at festivals such as Food for Your Senses (LU), Zikametz (FR), Les Aralunaires (BE) and opened for artists such as Liars (US), Blanck Mass (UK), Throwing Snow (UK) and Rone (FR).

Driven by his love of contrasts, produced in isolation, Reinard’s synth-driven electro-pop and its visual incarnations are a reflection of his personal obsessions, spanning from 80s sci-fi movie soundtracks and industrial electro to immersive installation art and echoes of French literature.

The name Ryvage sums it up really well: “My home base Luxembourg is landlocked. To me, making music is like driving to the sea, sitting at the shore and contemplating the horizon. It is a safe and beautiful place where you can be in the moment, let your imagination go wild or travel in your mind. I also like the idea of being on the threshold of two worlds or elements. Ryvage oscillates around contrasts, change and escapism”.

REVIEWS:

“This new video was directed by Ted Kayumba and is stunning and provocative, and unbelievably conceptual — Kayumba and Ryvage are an ace team.”

“A multidimensional live experience that grows in waves in order to subdue the senses of the listener. In one word: cinematographic escapism. The high expectations towards himself and the love for details can be felt.”
(Wort)

“Layer by layer, a dense and diversified soundscape is created, reminding us sometimes of Jon Hopkins and Daniel Avery without being too heavily influenced. Ryvage’s energy behind his machines in the stroboscopic lights is contagious.”
(Wort)

“a complex structured, clever and emotional intoxicating electro set“
(Tageblatt )

“a project that broadens Luxembourg’s musical landscape on a sound and aesthetical level”
(Tageblatt)

"I like atmospheres and contrasts and changes of mood in music in general (...) it’s not the same approach I had in other projects where I was thinking a lot about things before I started, it’s a more intuitive approach this time"
