Ridiculon is an evocative and darkly whimsical music duo known for their distinctive contributions to the indie game music scene. Comprising Jon Evans and Matthias Bossi, former drummer for Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Ridiculon has carved out a niche for themselves with atmospheric and moody soundtracks that perfectly complement the peculiar, often macabre worlds of the games they score. Their collaboration has yielded a significant body of work, most notably in the critically acclaimed roguelike game, "The Binding of Isaac," and its expansions, "Repentance" and "Mutations," where their haunting compositions blend with the game's themes of despair, surrealism, and the macabre.

Ridiculon's music often features a fusion of electronic, orchestral, and rock elements, creating a unique soundtrack experience that is as memorable as the games they accompany. Their recent works, such as the punchy and energetic soundtrack of "Super Meat Boy Forever" and the melancholic and brooding tones of "The End Is Nigh," continue to showcase their versatility and expertise in enhancing the gaming experience with their aural creations. They are also responsible for the eerie and intense scores found in "Fingered!" and the mellow, unsettling lullabies present in "The Binding of Isaac: Lullabies." Each release by Ridiculon is a testament to their ability to translate emotion and narrative into music, securing their place as a pivotal player in the video game soundtrack industry.
