- The Erased Tapes artist will release Sonne in September.
Rival Consoles, the solo alias of London producer Ryan Lee West, will release a new EP called Sonne via Erased Tapes on September 15th.
The new release follows last year's Odyssey EP, and represents West's attempt to imbue his music with "colour." He explains: "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."
Originally signed to the label after sending an unsolicited demo, West has found a home for his analog-focused music on Erased Tapes. His music as Rival Consoles has progressed from its IDM roots to approach the slow-building, atmospheric heft of the imprint's orchestral ambient act, Winged Victory For The Sullen.
West will debut a new live set at a yet-to-be-announced London release show, and is also scheduled to play Seattle's Decibel festival. Check out Sonne's second track, the minimalist "3 Chords," below.
