Rival Consoles

'Impossible to ignore, and hard to forget.' — Pitchfork

London-based producer Ryan Lee West, better known as Rival Consoles, is revered for his ability to make synthesisers sound organically human and atmospheric. Following a global tour and a recent sold-out appearance at Dark Mofo, Rival Consoles makes his highly anticipated return to Melbourne with his immersive Landscape from Memory audiovisual show.

Featuring live visuals by digital artist Sky Ainsbury, witness the duo transform the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall into a euphoric and cinematic audiovisual experience. From deep ambient works to his distinct take on techno, and traversing the vast spectrum in between, this performance presents a long-form narrative of ideas, with many heard live for the very first time.

Over the course of a critically acclaimed eighteen-year career, Landscape from Memory marks a new chapter in an ongoing quest for refinement and evolution. Don't miss your chance to witness one of the UK's most influential creators of electronic music in this audio-visual spectacle.

'Ambient leaning, mind expanding electronics.' — DJ Mag

About the artist

Erased Tapes' very first signee, Rival Consoles has been concurrently in the foreground and background of electronic music since the late 00s, conjuring tense melancholia for Black Mirror soundtracks, playing in front of 10,000 dance fans at Drumsheds, selling out London's Barbican Hall, and logging an expansive, wandering collection of synth-sculpted albums that explore a myriad different styles and aesthetics-but always with human emotion as their lodestar.

Landscape from Memory, the ninth studio LP from the UK producer and musician born Ryan Lee West, finally blossomed following a frustrating fallow year away from the production desk. For West, having spent the past decade producing and writing in a habitual way, falling out of love with creativity meant a slowing of the clock that makes him tick, a sense of being swallowed whole by some elementary force. However, the time out also made room for his most invigorating record yet.
