About
London-based producer blending analog synthesizers and IDM into atmospheric, cinematic electronic music.
Rival Consoles, the moniker of London based producer Ryan Lee West, crafts intricate electronic compositions that bridge the gap between human emotion and synthetic texture. Drawing from a background in guitar and rock music, West utilizes analog synthesizers, effects pedals, and modular gear to build atmospheric soundscapes that often incorporate techno rhythms and cinematic arrangements. His discography, released entirely through Erased Tapes, includes acclaimed works such as the 2015 album Howl, the 2018 release Persona, and the 2025 project Landscape from Memory. Known for his immersive live audiovisual performances, he frequently tours global stages and festivals with a setup that emphasizes organic, evolving sound design over rigid club formulas. By prioritizing conceptual depth and a tactile approach to production, he stands out as a singular voice in contemporary electronic music who successfully balances avant garde experimentation with accessible melodic resonance.
