Laniakea [ luh-nahy-uh-kee-uh]
noun Astronomy.
1. a huge supercluster of many thousands of galaxies: the Milky Way is included in one of its three component parts.
2. “Immense Heavens”, Hawaiian.
Laniakea is a Toronto based project whose artistic vision is to unify the often disconnected technical
and emotional sides of musical expression. Founded by guitarists Michael Ruggiero and Ross Au, this
collaboration is the product of their musical ambitions to create art with the aim of comprehending the
ephemeral nature of existence. Laniakea draws inspiration from: the odd time signatures of math-rock,
the aggressiveness of modern prog and the stillness of nature. Their debut EP, “You Bring Colours”
is now available everywhere.
