ad anticipare “Persona”, il brano
“Unfolding”, prima traccia del disco:
Attivo dal 2007, Rival Consoles, prima firma in
assoluto dell’etichetta d’avanguardia Erased Tapes Records,
si è
guadagnato un posto di tutto rispetto nell’olimpo dell’IDM. I suoi lavori sono
altamente emotivi e “Persona” è, a
detta dello stesso artista, il suo album più espressivo, frutto di una
produzione dinamica che combina sintetizzatori analogici a strumenti acustici,
lasciando trasparire la sua passione per lo shoegaze e per gli effetti a pedale

Ryan Lee
West aka Rival Consoles presents his expressive new album ‘Persona’, set for release on 13th April 2018 via Erased Tapes.
The title ‘Persona’ was inspired by Ingmar
Bergman’s film of the same name, specifically a shot in the opening credits of
a child reaching out to touch a woman’s face on a screen, which is shifting
between one face and another. This powerful image struck Ryan and it inspired
the album’s main theme — an exploration of the persona, the difference between
how we see ourselves and how others see us, the spaces in between; between
states, people, light and dark, the inner persona and the outer persona.
“My music is generally inward looking. I like
finding something about the self within music, that doesn't have to be specific
but maybe asks something or reveals something. This record is a continuation on
the self through electronic sounds. Like Legowelt once said ‘a synthesiser is
like a translator for unknown emotions’, which I think sums up what I am trying
to do. I think all these emotions we have make up our persona. So in a way by
finding new ones you alter or expand your persona. And that is what I want my
music to try to do. I deliberately aimed to be more sonically diverse with this
record. I wanted to experiment more. I wanted to create new sounds and new
emotions.”
