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.

The Terrorhythm Elements Series continues into 2015 with a two track single from KRNE and Portrait. 

Italics is a track regular listeners to Plastician will be familiar with. Bearing the trademark bass mutations of KRNE, paired with the bright and colourful motifs of Portrait, this one works on so many different levels.

The VIP mix simplifies the track down to it's more potent elements, perfect for tearing in and out of a set with maximum impact - ideal for the quick fingered DJ's out there.

This song was made to tell a story and I am more than thrilled to share it with the world!

Feel Something

This track was composed in retrospect of a very intense time in my life when I was dealing with chronic anxiety, insomnia and OCD. I wanted to write something that was a juxtaposition of those feelings.

This kicks off my 'Improvisations on Rainy Days' album that I will slowly release over the Summer!! I really wanted to release music even though I am doing an internship at Hans Zimmer's company and am pretty busy, so I hope these intimate tracks will suffice until I can work on a bigger album in the Fall!  As always thanks so much for all the support!! When the full album is out it will be available on all streaming sites, but for now I will release the tracks on Soundcloud, Youtube & Bandcamp until it is complete :)

Strange Is Better

Hey! Here's my new song Avoiding! Hope you like it! <3

Lyrics:

Every single day
I let you tear me apart
It's pushing me away
But you don't fucking care
Don't know where to go
It is all inside my head
I'm losing all my hope
Don't recognize myself

Avoiding reflections so I don't see truth
Avoiding the past so I don't think of you
No place like home but there's no home for me
I lie to myself and say I'm okay

Hoping for
A better day
Longing to
Find a way

Feel like a stranger
Don't know who I am
Hear all the silence
Got no one to blame
Changes around me
But I am the same
I wonder why I take 
Everything for granted

Avoiding reflections so I don't see truth
Avoiding the past so I don't think of you
No place like home but there's no home for me
I lie to myself and say I'm okay

The brisk chilling air is calling, and out there we're free to run and jump and live so wildly.

Head first we'll go tumbling, through places unknown with nothing but the stars to light our way.

And though the sun may set at night, tomorrow looks so bright.

(Cuz) Home, is when you're by my side; no matter what we do, together we'll see it through.

(And I) Hope, that we won't drift apart; even though things change, without you it's not the same.

I know it's true. Life's better... when It's Me and You

It's Me and You

Taken from the solo album 'The Transition' out November 2nd on Erased Tapes.

"The Garden represents my mental health as I strive to develop a better relationship with the way we live, learn, and communicate through the internet. The process of accepting and contributing to the way that we are expected to represent ourselves online is inherently at odds with our ability to connect and understand each other on a personal level. We live in a time where technology assertively taps into our biological need to feel human connection, and it is in our best interest to adapt as well as possible to this ideological paradigm, in spite of all the illusions we encounter along the way." — David Allred

Following on from last year's collaborative release Find The Ways with Peter Broderick, the Californian singer and multi-instrumentalist David Allred returns with a first solo album on Erased Tapes out November 2nd, titled The Transition.

Hailing from Loomis, a small town outside of Sacramento, via Portland, Oregon – David worked as a sound engineer and session musician, featuring on multiple recordings by the likes of Birger Olsen, Brigid Mae Power, Brumes, The Beacon Sound Choir, Chantal Acda, Heather Woods Broderick, Jung Body, Masayoshi Fujita, and many more. He quickly found himself touring Europe with Peter, culminating in a Royal Festival Hall performance, and contributing the arresting voice and double bass piece Ahoy to the Erased Tapes 10th anniversary box set 1+1=X; only to return to where he started, Loomis, and finally write and record The Transition as his first full-length statement in just one month.

With the release of The Transition, David Allred takes his place among the classic American songwriting tradition whilst revealing a peculiarity to his storytelling.

Isolated and cut off from the outside world, David began unravelling his life and putting it on record. With a double bass in his bedroom and a piano in a church across the street, the stories started to unfold until a set of ten songs came to life. Vignettes and feelings from his own experiences, as well as characters he met along the way, inspired a rich tapestry of stories and melodies.

Multi-instrumentalist, singer and composer Peter Broderick will release a new extended player titled 'Two Balloons' on November 9th with Erased Tapes. Available as a limited edition 10” vinyl and digital download, it features the score for the award-winning animation of the same name, inspired by an early recording of his, plus a 9-minute electronic rework on the B-side titled Techno For Lemurs.

Fairly often we see albums of “Music inspired by the film __”, but less common is a film inspired by music. Such is the case with Two Balloons. Director Mark C. Smith got the idea for his nine-minute stop frame animation film while out at sea, looking at a majestic funnel cloud in the distance. Shortly after he heard a song by Peter Broderick from one of his earliest recordings — 4 Track Songs — and the music struck a chord so strongly, he knew he wanted to make a film to fit the melody. And so began the five-year labour of love that would eventually produce this enchanting little film, currently circulating film festivals around the world and racking up countless awards and accolades including ‘Best Original Music Score’ at the New Renaissance Film Festival in Amsterdam.

Peter begins his European tour tomorrow in Cardiff and will perform at the Erased Tapes Northern Showcase in Wakefield with Rival Consoles and Hatis Noit on Saturday September 15th. Information and tickets: https://www.residentadvisor.net/events/1124408

Tom Day & Monsoonsiren - Love Is Rare

Tom Day is a solo artist residing in Millgrove, Australia and has been creating ambient and electronic music since 2005. Characterised as “effortless and raw”, Tom’s tracks couple elegant beats and piano melodies to an array of personally-collected field recordings, his style alternating between promising swells and restful plateaus.

Having grown up on a farm on the Mornington Peninsula, Tom is strongly influenced by the ocean beaches and natural openness of his hometown. Other influences include cinematic scores by Alan Silvestri, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Thomas Newman, Hildur Guðnadóttir, John Barry, Clint Mansell, Austin Wintory & John Williams, as well as modern classical and electronic artists such as Ólafur Arnalds, Jon Hopkins, Tourist, DjRUM, The Cinematic Orchestra, Segal, Nils Frahm & Bonobo.

The music of Tom Day has been used in independent film and documentaries from around the world, with clients including National Geographic, Volvo, New York Times, Momondo, Holden, Juice Media, GetUp and Tourism Victoria.  Having worked on an array of joint projects with other musicians and visual artists, Tom is deeply drawn to the synthesis of sound and image.

In 2018, Tom launched an ambient and drone side project under the alias sɹoɹɹᴉɯ.
