Delays Have Dangerous Ends

Delays Have Dangerous Ends are an Australian duo creating cinematic ambient science fiction music through improvised guitars, keyboards and effects. 

Guitarist Matthew Syres brings years of experimental, industrial and post rock to the fray while keyboardist Genevieve Von Black injects mashups of jazz, doom and influences from prog rock and heavy classical. 

Formed in the bleak Sydney autumn of 2022 with an improvisation responding to ravens singing as the moon rose in the fading afternoon light. Their music explores their love of all the dark things - think of the darker parts of Bohren & Der Club Of Gore, The Necks, Nick Cave, Alister Spence Trio, Joseph Tawadros, Vangelis, Saint Vitus, Earth, Oren Ambarchi, Alice Coltrane, Cluster, sunn O))), Merzbow, and Nordic noir. 

Their 2024 tour took in the Essence Festival of Extreme and Diverse Music (ACT), MONA (Tas), Make It Up Club (Bar Open) (Vic) and Lazybones Lounge (NSW). In 2025, Delays sold out the PACT Theatre in Sydney.
