Rival Consoles reveals the latest single from his upcoming album Overflow, out December 3.
I Like features the mapping of data from dancer Tia Hockey’s personal monologue, which controls the volume of the chords based on the activity of her voice — drawing attention to things happening behind the curtain, invisible systems, algorithms.
“With this piece, the dancers were recording lots of personal monologues about how they felt when using social media. Alex the choreographer suggested exploring the words ‘I like’ as it’s so abundant a term and action online. With a simple momentary recording of this I began crafting a piece, in which melancholic chords would gently be triggered by Tia’s voice, as well as manipulating the words ‘I like.. and they were like..’ with a very chaotic system. I wanted to create a mood that was a weird combination of contentedness, sadness and strangeness.“ — Ryan Lee West

London-based producer Ryan Lee West, better known under the name Rival Consoles, is notable for making synthesisers sound
human and atmospheric.
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 in 2007....more
Impressive Drone album, of course with Jons very pleasant set of melodies. I was happily surprised with this and also of the harmonies that result. sumgui
Myanmar artist Heft makes pulsing, rippling electronic music, where dark synths cast long shadows and drums skitter and twitch. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2019
Burial fully realises the ambient aspects of his work that he has been leaning towards over the past few years. Whether you like it or not, you can't deny that this is undeniably Burial. Kutkh_Jackdaw
