Info:

Like Many Electronic Artists, Ryan Lee West Aka Rival Consoles Spent His Early Years Experimenting With Idm, Glitch And Dance, But One Consistent Element In His Musical Journey Has Been His Desire To Create A More Organic, Humanised Sound. Through These Experimentations He Has Found A Process Of Producing Electronic Music That Feels Close To This Urge. West Engages His Hands Directly With Instruments And Is Very Selective About What He Then Records Into The Computer. He Reduces Musical Parts Even Further, Leaving Enough Space Around The Sound For It To Breath. <br />odyssey Is A Reflection Of West’s Quest To Create Atmosphere And Space From Minimal Arrangements. ‘i Don’t Like Music To Sound Overly Laboured, So I Restrict How Much Is Going On. I’m Kind Of Obsessed With The Idea Of Reduction.’ This 5-track Ep Was Mastered By Naweed.
