Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles has announced his fourth full length album 'Persona' will be released on 13th April via Erased Tapes.

The title 'Persona' was inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s film of the same name, specifically a shot in the opening credits of a child reaching out to touch a woman’s face on a screen, which is shifting between one face and another. This powerful image struck Ryan and it inspired the album’s main theme — an exploration of the persona, the difference between how we see ourselves and how others see us, the spaces in between; between states, people, light and dark, the inner persona and the outer persona. 

"My music is generally is generally inward looking. I like finding something about the self within music, that doesn't have to be specific but maybe asks something or reveals something. This record is a continuation on the self through electronic sounds. Like Legowelt once said ‘a synthesiser is like a translator for unknown emotions’, which I think sums up what I am trying to do. I think all these emotions we have make up our persona. So in a way by finding new ones you alter or expand your persona. And that is what I want my music to try to do. I deliberately aimed to be more sonically diverse with this record. I wanted to experiment more. I wanted to create new sounds and new emotions.”

Recorded at his studio in south-east London, ‘Persona’ benefits from Ryan’s exploration of a dynamic production process that combines analogue-heavy synthesisers, acoustic and electric instruments with a shoegaze-level obsession with effect pedals. A greater depth of emotion and confidence can be heard across the album. From the deconstructed movements on ‘Unfolding’ that starts the album with a snap of delayed snares, the apocalyptic drones of the title track and thundering drums in ‘Phantom Grip’ to more  restrained ambient feels of ‘Dreamer’s Wake’, ‘Rest’ and ‘Untravel’. The latter transverses six beatless minutes of undulating melodies representing “a limbo space, a feeling of ennui, of not really ever being known to others and others not ever really being known to you”.

'Be Kind' reveals a musical connection with fellow Erased Tapes artist Nils Frahm, with its minimal approach and improvisational nature. On the more complex sounding ‘I Think So’ Ryan aims to replicate a colour collage with sound. Like a musical kaleidoscope, a flashing and convoluted mass. Written after he saw Slowdive perform live last year, ‘Hidden’ builds from whispers to landscapes of controlled noise. In an interview with XLR8R magazine, Ryan explains: “once you start trying to make a sound loud, then you turn your back on thousands and thousands of sonic possibilities. One of the best things to do is to start a track with a really quiet, weak sound.” Taking this idea to its ultimate conclusion, ‘Fragment’ closes the album as an innocent sounding ambient piece, almost nursery rhyme like, yielding time for reflection on how the persona has changed.

'Persona' follows the success of a series of releases — the ‘Odyssey’ and ‘Sonne’ EPs, long player ‘Howl’, and 2016’s mini album ‘Night Melody’ — that saw Ryan mature into what Pitchfork has called a “forward-thinking electronic musician with his own ideas about sound”. Atypical of instrumental-electronic music, Ryan has achieved a signature sound that’s unmistakably identifiable as Rival Consoles. Going beyond typical electronic music production, Ryan defines it as “songwriting with an electronic palette of sounds”.

The increasingly dynamic live audio-visual show, born from bespoke performances at the Tate and for Boiler Room at the V&A Museum featuring self-programmed visuals in Max/MSP, has propelled him to play around the world. Ryan launches ‘Persona’ at London’s XOYO on 12th April with further dates to be announced.

Tokyo's Yunosuke Senoo aka Lycoriscoris presents ‘Flight’, his first album released via acclaimed UK label Anjunadeep. In recent years Lycoriscoris has developed a reputation as one of Japan’s most exciting young producers, releasing two albums on local indie label Moph Records and performing live alongside acts like The Field and Mortiz Von Oswald at Tokyo’s legendary Dommune.

With influences ranging from the dreamy soundscapes of Boards Of Canada, to the jazzy glitch of Shigeto, Senoo's subtle fusion of organic melodies and futuristic electronic production has won support from the likes of DJ Koze and Michael Mayer, who released his ’Transient EP' on Kompakt sub-label KX in 2015. Senoo made his debut on Anjunadeep in 2016, contributing a track to the iTunes #1 Dance Album ‘Anjunadeep 08’, before following up with the 6-track 'Drop EP' in 2017 which has since notched up 1 million streams.

Over its 8 tracks, ‘Flight’ sees Lycoriscoris explore the full range of his emotional melodic sound. From the intricate textures of ‘Kite’ and orchestral groove of lead single ‘Flight’, to the haunting ambience of ‘Far’ and dramatic crescendo of ‘Stella’, Senoo weaves together a spellbinding tapestry of detailed soundscapes and lush electronica. Senoo also provides imagery for his cinematic sounds, with the album artwork and music video for ‘Flight’ comprised of imagery shot by the artist himself in his native Japan.

‘Flight’ is the latest in a string of notable artist albums released on leading electronic label Anjunadeep, following on from Moon Boots’ debut LP ‘First Landing’ which topped the KCRW album chart and picked up over 50 BBC Radio plays, Cubicolor’s ‘Brainsugar’ which has amassed 32 million streams, and ‘Tuesday Maybe’, the sixth album from legendary duo Way Out West which topped the UK Dance Album chart.

‘Flight’ is set for release digitally and on vinyl on Friday 25th May 2018 via Anjunadeep.

This Autumn German producer Ryan Davis returns to Anjunadeep with his exquisitely crafted mini-album ‘Home’. Awash with analogue sound design, organic field recordings, and digital sampling, each track on Davis’ mini-album unites the man-made and the natural to evoke his understanding of Home - something that is simultaneously within us and around us. 

Opening number ‘Shift' represents all that is constantly changing as we traverse time, the subtle alterations in our day-to-day reflected in the track’s understated piano lines and immersive sound design. Conversely, lead track 'Alow’ is indicative of those vast emotional shifts that are often felt more than they are seen; "it is about feeling powerless in one moment but then having the power of starting all over and do it better this time.” The swelling tension and release heard in Davis’ ‘Ode’ is a short testament to the unsurity of life - "the breakbeat and the noises describe that life isn't a straight path but more a way with a lot of options to choose where to go next, and things we can’t predict”. Inspired by the raw power of nature, ‘Obsidian’ is the clubbiest cut on the release, utilising harsh field recordings to mould hard kicks and percussion. The arbitrary cuts and breaks in ‘Cyclus’ symbolise the random, cyclical nature of our lives, whilst ‘Dimmed’ is pure, steady piano piece, indicative of the sense of closure before we finally fall asleep.

At once both intimate and complex, ‘Home’ is a deep demonstration of the Davis' penchant for meaningful songwriting and evocative composition, out October 5th on Anjunadeep.

This November Ryan Davis’ most-recent EP ‘Home’ gets two new remixes courtesy of the United Kingdom’s Vessels and Russian producers Gorje Hewek & Izhevski. Vessels' reinterpretation of ‘Obsidian’ elaborates on the original’s deep and dark undertones, laying other-worldly pads and cascading arpeggios on a kick-heavy drumline. Conversely, Gorje Hewek & Izhevski present a lighter, melodic rework of Davis ‘Dimmed’; the duo build on Davis’ organic sound design to compose a piece which is both introspective and refined.

Hi everyone I'm Tim!

I grew up in the 90's listening to bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails & Marilyn Manson. Then started to get into more electronic music around the 2000's including Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Plaid, Boards of Canada, Depeche Mode. They really inspired me to start making electronic music. 

I love to explore different genres of music including Ambient, DnB, Experimental, House, Dance, IDM & various other genres. I hope you enjoy listening to my tunes! :)

I am also the owner of Cold Earth Industries - We make 3D printed Synth Stands, Guitar Pedal Stands, Eurorack & Audio Accessories - You can check out our Etsy Link below!
