OECUS Premiere // Ones., Rasval

Extract from "Nebelgelb EP" - @tmntrax
Release date: 27th February 2023

On 27.02.2023 Ones. and Rasval will release the "Nebelgelb" EP, the first release on their freshly founded Vinyl
Only label TMN TRAX, a 4 track EP with 2 original mixes and with one remix each by Sleeparchive and .VRIL.
The label will be distributed by Hard Wax.
The final decision to press the EP and found the label was made during the pandemic. Detached from the club
context and musical trends as well as from everyday creative pressure combined with an extreme reduction of
external influences, Ones. and Rasval took the time to experiment in their shared studio.
During this phase, the first track layouts were created, which formed the musically characteristic basis of TMN
TRAX. The EP's name-giving track, “Nebelgelb”, was also the first finalised production for the label. “Tau”
followed shortly after. Both tracks are characterised by the complete absence of percussion in a classical
sense. The rhythm and groove unfold mainly through noise textures. While “Tau” is a forcing four-to-the-floor,
drone / big room techno track, “Nebelgelb” breaks the dance floor orientation in a shifted and experimental way,
but keeps the basic technoid mood.
The “Vintage Tool Remix” by .VRIL of the track "Tau" dissolves its original narrative character and delivers the
classic dramatic .VRIL sound, which gets a unique sound character by the usage of an old KM-60 Boss mixer.
Sleeparchive's remix of “Nebelgelb” picks up on the absence of percussion, but interprets the track in a much
punchier way, evoking memories of some sound explorations from Sleeparchive's earlier releases.
The EP was mastered by Conor Dalton (Glowcast Audio). The illustration for the art work was done by
Katja Hoffmann.
The next release is expected to be the first album on TMN TRAX. Musically, it will pick up the feeling of the first
release. However, Ones. and Rasval do not want to limit the label's musical spectrum, as TMN TRAX is meant
to provide a space for the musical development of the two artists.
Furthermore, they are currently finalising the concept of their sub-label, which will create a platform for more
dancefloor-oriented tracks and open up more space for outside influences.

Continuing on from his Odyssey EP released in 2013, Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles creates atmosphere and space whilst exploring waves of sound and rhythm, and the power of colour. With Sonne Ryan creates music to structure itself around a pulse, rather than the pulse being the defining point. 

The title track begins with “a very subtle set of melodies that repeat almost without confidence, and then gradually give way to a huge collage of colour and power”, as Ryan describes it. Not relying on a conventional beat, it’s a prime example of how an analogue synthesiser can create the power and momentum of a rhythm section. From the distorted waves in 3 Chords, growing and shrinking, to the rhythmic waves of constant speeding up and then slowing down in Recovery, it’s the Moog Voyager, Prophet and tape delay that make up the core sound of the EP. Whilst tracks like Helios, Haunt and Think Tank see West play live drums and acoustic guitar.

“I’m often looking at art in exhibitions and I always think to myself ‘why the hell don’t I have this much colour in my work?’ The answer in part I think is down to synthesis. It is very difficult to create colour without it sounding plastic. Colour in music is both the note combinations and the actual timbre of the sounds. There are lots of instances of very colourful ambient sounds, which I took great care to create for each song, using various methods – from passing analogue synths through chains of effects to chopping up random sequences of recordings and forming tiny collages." – Ryan Lee West 

ABOUT THE ARTWORK:  

Resembling the colour and vibrancy in his music, the cover art was created by South London artist Supermundane, who was also responsible for the artwork of the Odyssey EP.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Some might be surprised that London based electronic producer Ryan Lee West, the man behind Rival Consoles, shares a home with contemporary classical composers such as Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds and Peter Broderick. And yet they have a lot more in common than expected. Fascinated by sound from an early age, Ryan chose to dedicate his time to studying, experimenting with and producing sound graduating from De Montfort University in Leicester. One consistent element in his musical journey has been his desire to create a more organic, humanised sound. Ryan often drafts early ideas on piano, violin and guitar, although the end result is much more electronic-laden. As an accomplished sound designer he has repeatedly performed at the Tate, and recently created a bespoke audio-visual performance for Boiler Room at the V&A. Ryan is currently composing music for a soon to be announced BBC production.

LIVE:	
	
After supporting Luke Abbott on his recent UK tour and I Break Horses on their North American tour in spring, Ryan will debut his new live set with a special release show in London, followed by a string of West Coast U.S. dates culminating in Decibel Festival in late September – more details to be announced soon.

Green Planet Federation EP

Premiere: Möd4rn - Permabloc (Möd3rn Records)

Lauge - Oceanography (rhythmic pulse edit)

Sahara

This is the music I composed for the scene from Black Mirror: Striking Vipers - which I call 'I love this, I love you'. 

It is a short piece of music, but one that for me has a lot of emotional depth.

This could be developed and extended but for now I am sharing the work as it is heard on film. 

I am sure we will release an official EP at some point with a selection of works from the episode. 

Enjoy.
