When I heard the beautiful "Re" theme, I had this idea for a rework: I wanted to create a jazzy, stumbling groove and a fat dub feeling at the same time, but still retaining the mellow character of the original.
I took some noisy loops from the original, went for my analogue modular synth for filtering / bass / kickdrum, recorded the percussion stuff in my Foley studio and in the end I found myself playing some lines on tenor & soprano saxophones.
So this is my try for this wonderful rework series, thanks for listening. Take care!

Tracklisting

Live at Zero The Pow Wow [May 17 2015]

A long hiatus from dedicated positioning of music into a timeline.  A collection of new sounds amassed over months that needed but still defies categorization.  A construct of parts to fill a void.

AS THE WORLD TURNS THE BIT RATE INCREASES. THE MORE WE CREATE THE MORE WE EXTINGUISH. WE MEAN, YOU SEE, EVERYTHING – INCLUDING MUSIC AS PROCESS – SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN SCATTERED VORACIOUSLY AROUND THE SPACE. THUS, EACH ONE OF THESE INFORMATIONS MAY SETUP AND BUILD AN INDEPENDENT CONCEPT OF WHAT CONSTITUTES THEMSELVES. FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW, CASACAOS PROUDLY PRESENTS THE COMPIL(ACTION) “MUX”, WHERE WE’RE GETTING TO KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THIS ESPECIFIC MUSICAL UNIVERSE AROUND US. DISTINGUISHED SAMPLE DATAS CAN ALL BE CONFIGURED INTO A MEASURELESS SINGLE FLOW OF INTENSITY. THE COMPILATION IS BASED ON COMPOSITIONS / EDITIONS OF OUR MUSICAL PARTNERS. MOVING ON, WE FOUND OURSELVES FACING THE QUESTION OF HOW WE CAN SPREAD THIS SONORITY TO EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD.

Floorplan (Robert Hood) Boiler Room x Dekmantel Festival DJ Set

Always amazing times in Moscow.  Here is Selfoss from August 2015

Selfoss (Live In Moscow 2015)

'Howl' is the new album by Rival Consoles, London-based electronic producer Ryan Lee West, set for release through Erased Tapes on 16th October 2015.

Pre-order it on (Ltd. Red) 2xLP · CD · DL here:
www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP076
or via iTunes: http://snip.ftpromo.net/howl

Foremost a guitarist, growing up listening to rock rather than club music, West continues to strive towards finding a more personal balance between music for home listening and larger spaces. The title track was inspired by the howl-like tones he developed by running synths through guitar pedals. 

"By slowly drifting the pitch through distortion and delays, the result sounded like vocal cries – something which was perfect for the song and this inspired me to take on a darker set of tones across the whole album. It was made over the past few years, inspired by capturing small performances on synths, touring with some of my musical heroes, playing with feedback when I should have been catching a train, sampling my voice in unexpected conditions and recording textures in different countries.” 

The album explores a wide range of emotions; from the dissonance eruptions and primal rhythms in 'Howl', to the mournful improvisations of '3 Laments', which features a sample of his own voice. Alongside his performances on Moog, Prophet, tape delay and guitar, West enlisted the help of drummer Fabian Prynn for ‘Low’ and cellist Peter Gregson for ‘Walls’, both long-time collaborators of Erased Tapes peers Douglas Dare and Michael Price.

"This album features a lot of my own recordings, rather than simply using samples that I have sitting on my computer. This gives the album a more personal feeling, which is very important to me because I think we live in a time where there is just so much recorded material out there, and accessible at a click of a button, that the joy of recording your own drum sounds, your own percussion, your own claps, seems redundant – but it’s not! That should be a priority because its often more interesting and makes you choose a different creative path."
 
It’s rarely reported that Rival Consoles was Erased Tapes' very first signing, with a CDR of early demos under the name Aparatec that inspired founder Robert Raths to start the label. Indeed West has more in common with his contemporaries Nils Frahm and Peter Broderick than some might think. His consistent desire to create a more organic, humanised sound sees West often draft early ideas on traditional, acoustic instruments like the guitar or the piano; forming pieces that capture a sense of songwriting behind the electronics. 

"I try to create atmosphere and mood throughout with a less-is-more approach to composition. I'm always trying to find an exciting reaction from a few ingredients, because that is magic to me. To make something interesting with tons of layers of effects just doesn't excite me. But to make something interesting with just three layers requires a special alignment of sounds, ideas and timing. This is my most personal work to date, following on from 'Odyssey' and 'Sonne' which gave me the confidence to continue exploring my own ideas and approach to sound. The essence of this album was made with a few synths, some guitar pedals and lots of cups of tea. I hope you’ll enjoy it."
 
Having repeatedly performed at such prestigious venues as the Tate, and having created a bespoke audio-visual performance for Boiler Room at the V&A Museum, the blueprint for West’s current live A/V show was formed. Featuring self-programmed visuals in Max/MSP has earned him appearances at music festivals around the world including Mutek, Decibel, Big Ears and Berghain’s Pop-Kultur Festival, as well as tours in support of Clark, Nosaj Thing, Luke Abbott and Kiasmos.

October 2015 will see West perform Rival Consoles debut headline shows in the UK, followed by North America and Europe mainland dates throughout the winter months.

On July 4, 2015, The Brooklyn Mirage debuted its very first event: The Cityfox Experience. Tale of Us closed the outdoors at midnight and thousands of revelers shifted indoors, including into the Kings Hall where Dory (@djd0ry) launched into and delivered a set that's such a burner, upon finishing she was met with a minute-long ovation from an all too appreciative audience.

Why this is called Test rather than Demo is perhaps because it started out testing new sounds on the Doepfer, but ended as a demodrop.  I think the year is 2005

Demo 184 V01

"It was an honor and a pleasure to play the Robot Heart bus again this year on Sunday night. After an amazing love-filled week, and a truly moving performance art piece with inspiring quotes from Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet", I was super excited to start the final night's festivities. The wind was blowing strong, the air was chilly, but the vibes were warm and strongly felt. I hope you enjoy my slow building sonic journey, and that it brings back positive memories of another incredible week on the Playa. I'd like to send a huge thank you hug to Swamy, Benjamin, Dill, and the entire Robot Heart family for their continued hospitality and support. And of course, thank you to all you beautiful Burners who danced under the desert moonlight with us.  See you next year in the dust!!"

The Underwater years from 2002 and 2004 gave birth to the new Gusgus setup with Earth as the lead singer.  The involvement of Darren Emersons label manager and his successful selection off remixers for the hit "David" was important part of re-establishing this new lineup.  This was not the first interaction of the band with Darren Emerson and his label as the first release on his label was the track with Tworld, Anthem in 1994.  As some of you might know Tworld merged into Gusgus when the band was formed in 1995.  Here is one of these remixes of David, carefully remastered for you.

In the year 2002, Gusgus was touring the states with the new lineup and album Attention.  One of the tracks in the set was though a cover of old Human League track called "Things that dreams are made of".  Not shure if we have any live recordings of it but here is the lave backup version we did in case of equipment breakdown.

BIO:
The Icelandic band Gus Gus originally spawned from a shortcut made by Siggi Kjartansson and Stefán Árni (a.k.a. Arni & Kinski) called “Pleasure”. Initially the band was acclaimed as an avant-garde collective of musicians, producers, filmmakers and performers. They mixed together different mediums to create a unique mixture of sound and vision. Their trademark style is combined with funky bass, streamlined synths and the intelligent use of technology and art. Árni & Kinski did the visual part and the musical side was driven by Birgir Þórarinsson (a.k.a. Veiran), Stephan Stephenssen (a.k.a President Bongo), Magnús Guðmundsson (a.k.a. Herb Legowitz). The live band was fronted by singers Daníel Ágúst, Hafdís Huld and Magnús Jónsson (a.k.a. Blake).

Gus Gus is an electronic soul band formed in 1995. A short break in a making of the shortcut made it possible for the first Gus Gus self-titled album to be born. In 1996 the band signed to 4AD Records that released their widely acclaimed second album “Polydistortion”. "This Is Normal" followed in 1999 and finally "Gus Gus vs T-World" appeared in 2000. During the 4AD years, Gus Gus started touring massively, stirring the music world with their powerful live-show. The touring life was stressful for the nine some and eventually called for changes within the line up. Six original members left and the three remaining producers (Veiran, President Bongo and Herb Legowitz) soon found hope in a new female singer, Earth aka Urður Hákonardóttir. The band has ever since focused on being a musical entity. 

In 2002 Gus Gus re-appeared with their 4th studio album "Attention" which includes their most successful dance floor hit “David”. On the album the band teamed up with the legendary producer Gareth Jones and Finnish multi-instrumentalist Jimi Tenor. The album demonstrates a sharply focused club-band full of creativity and even more energetic than ever. Daníel Ágúst

Gus Gus released there 8th studio album, Mexico, on Kompakt, Germany in June 2014
