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.

RYAN DAVIS Aeons

001 we are all astronauts remix
002 original mix
003 olaf stuut remix
003 sonic union & bastards of funk remix

Working through an evolving vista of aural aesthetics, Ryan Davis' vision and craft is transformed through "Aeons". Underpinned by a German techno mastery that has found success in the "Sound of the Universe" and Back Home again, shimmering arpeggios hypnotise in muted appeal as a filtered lead line, timeless in structure and execution, melds with crisp rhythmic urgency in dance floor confluence. An assured masterpiece that lives far beyond linear and binary constraints. Revitalised through reinterpretation, the essence of pure emotion is captured by New England majesty and We Are All Astronauts. Original themes cascade across the vast sonic landscape; piano and arpeggio converge in timeless manner and spine-tingling sensation pricks at sensitised skin. Refrains drift on long-held delays juxtaposed by crystal-edged lead, the collage of frequencies and aural shapes touching and departing in random pattern.

With his modus operandi engaging "emotion through sound", Olaf Stuut portrays an image of accomplished Dutch master. Departing from traditional form, beautiful melodic sequences create rhythm and melody in synchronous harmony. Meandering and detuned, freeform and constrained, beats fuse with subterranean frequencies as a genre-defying work is expertly crafted. Scandinavian icons emerge from glaciated mountains that enshrine time in permafrost beauty. Sonic Union and Bastards of Funk hold an exalted place that has long-since sealed a fabled reputation. Robust rhythmic structures ensure time stands still in hypnotic precision before listener reverie is shaken by familiar melodic themes that are flung outwards in centrifugal force spinning around the stereo spectrum in devastating detail. Pulsating analogue bass punches through the lower frequency groove, time stamping a work that stirs to rousing crescendo with freeform skill.

Machines speak with the voice of humanity: "Aeons" defined by the music they generate.

“Ry" is the most important song on Graal (Prologue) for me. It was the breakthrough after a phase without making music. This track made this album possible. After devoting myself to painting, "Ry" inspired me to create new music.

EMPATHY TEST 'A RIVER LOVES A STONE' LYRICS

You are, brittle like the wind 
But I can, see right through your skin.
Well you've got such beautiful bones
And I love you like a river loves a stone.

I am, fickle as I'm thin
I shut you out, but you still got in.
My worst intentions have all been overthrown
And now I love you like a river loves a stone.

Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
I love you like a river loves a stone.
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
I love you like a river loves a stone.

You are, brittle but you'll bend
And I may, break you but you'll mend.
Well you paint me with such subtle tones
And I love you like a river loves a stone.

We are, brilliant though we're flawed
I wish you'd be a little self-assured.
Your best intentions, have all been overthrown
And now I love you - like a river loves a stone.

Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
I love you like a river loves a stone.
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
I love you like a river loves a stone.

Well I could sit and stare at you for hours
Like a bouquet of funeral flowers
But every leaf is painted black
And every petal is as pale as wax.

Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
I love you like a river loves a stone.
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.

Creating an album is a journey of self-knowledge through hindsight; putting together the tracks that will compose the oeuvre much like putting together a photo album. It involves looking back and undoubtedly reflecting over the memorable times that inspired each composition. That is definitely the case for @fejka, who released this year his album, Reunion. “The tracks on this album started to emerge from all different moments, feelings and mental states of my life during the last two years. They all have the same origin and purpose, to be fragments of my journey to find myself. Each song is a part of me,” says the German electronic music producer and visual artist. (...)
