Elisabeth Murdoch Hall Melbourne

 

 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.

Alas playing everywhere in Australia except Perth...

I love Substrata by Biosphere. Only just discovered it a few years ago. I use it sometimes to calm the mind and go to sleep - rarely get to the end of the album conscious!

01-N - Chilloutism

 

This dt gem from 2012 now available to preview/download from BasStAR Records Bandcamp HERE

Never knew that TISM were into chillout 🙂

 

This is serious, Múm.

 

I'm on the drugs that chilled River Phoenix.

Acid Gubi - OK! -- a 90 min set of twiddling the knobs on some Korg and Roland synths. Old school melodic acid fun. "Name Yer Price" lossless download from Bandcamp.

 

--Geoff

Aphex Twin – Drukqs

 

 

Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan - Public Works and Utilities -- latest release, with the usual bureaucratic brutalist themes. Noice. Spinning via the spotifies.

Just come back from my Taiwan trip and found this which I’ve been trying to to buy for a long time at a reasonable price , as the numbers pressed for this release was around 1500 . This was Andrew weatheralls last Lp with long time friend Nina Walsh ( W.R.F.)   Phonox Nights 

 

IAMX "Alive in New Light"

 

This gets the weekend flowing … Alter Ego 1994 Ambient masterpiece …. Aka Primitive Painter !

2 under the letter A+B - Autocreation  Mettle a bit easier listen than Autechre Confield. B12 compilation is rather good and Biosphere Substrata is always well regarded.

 

Im unloading a lot of original warp 12” and albums , also test pressings if your interested?

 

Dominique Dumont: Deux Paradis.

Quirky electronic synth beats and grooves with a touch of exotica

Tidal here

The Cutler - The Best Things In Life Aren't Things

 

(Don't judge an album by its cover!)

 

 

Time to rave like it’s 1991

Next up 

I'm really enjoying this album. 

1993. not aged a day. hard and haunting.

FAT - Friday Arvo Tunes 

Yello - Point & DJ Krush - Kaju ( interesting mix of trip hoo beats, scratching and Japanese Kyoto/flute tunes, some big deep bass). YMO -UC ( sacd layer only compilation)

I've tried a couple of times, listening to Yello, based on recommends here... I just don't get it. 

Its like my Dad purchased a synth and starting making music. 

Maybe being of Swiss origin helps.

For an immediate look, one of the compilation albums would be good say “the mix in one go 80 - 85 or Yello 40 years.. but as album, I’d try One Second this has a number of guest vocalists on it. Definately try tho - the Boris blank and Malia album convergence.
