Tricky, Gazelle Twin, Rival Consoles

  • Tricky has always used music to explore the different, sometimes contradictory facets of his background and personality. This is the reason why his 11th album is eponymously titled Adrian Thaws "Calling it Adrian Thaws is saying you don’t really know me," says Tricky "So many times people have tried to put a finger on me and every album I go to a different place." This Convergence performance will spotlight his work as a producer as well as a constantly shifting musician never content with resting on former glories but instead pushes forwards with startling honesty. The reason why London-based producer Ryan Lee West, aka Rival Consoles, sounds so human is because the tracks don’t start life solely locked in synthesisers. West often composes early ideas on piano, violin and guitar long before the electronic layers are added creating a great texture and depth to his work. With ‘Odyssey’ (2013) and ‘Sonne’ (2014), West gained a reputation for making thoughtful electronica that spans a wide spectrum of musical ideas. As an accomplished sound designer, he has repeatedly performed at the Tate, and recently created a bespoke audio-visual performance for Boiler Room at the V&A. Ryan has also produced remixes for New York based composer Nico Muhly and UK producer Jon Hopkins, and composes original music for dance, film and television.
