Event Details

For the first time, West will be showcasing his eclectic and expressive stylings in his very own Australian headline shows. Promising an invigorating display of spellbinding sonic and visual production, intertwining to tell the story of his latest emotive album, Persona has been labelled by The Australian as "An incredibly rewarding listen, due in no small part to how essentially unknowable and timeless it is". West will bring his captivating show to Adelaide and the show will take place in a unique new venue at MOD. (Museum of Discovery) on Saturday 17th November. He will be supported by DJ TR!P who will perform a live set with visual designs by Luku Kukuku.

Recorded at his studio in south-east London, Persona benefits from Ryan's exploration of a dynamic
production process that combines analogue-heavy synthesizers, acoustic and electric instruments with a shoegaze-level obsession with effect pedals. Inspired by Ingmar Bergman's film of the same name, the project represents 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.

His increasingly dynamic live show, born from bespoke performances at the Tate and for Boiler Room at the V&A Museum featuring self-programmed visuals in Max/MSP, has propelled him to play around the world. Now bringing his mesmerising set to Australia for the first time, be sure to catch Rival Consoles for a memorable night of audio-visual bliss and thoughtful sonic stories.

Supported By

 

DJ TR!P delivers a grimy beat driven live show with dirty electronics fused with a virile stage presence.

DJ TR!P's set is complimented by a mental moshpit of stunning live visual designs by Luku Kukuku.

This live show also celebrates DJ TR!P's 20th year in the music industry performing, creating & DJing his unique brand of electronica.

"DJ TR!P is memorable. And he needs to be very memorable indeed to be memorable to me. That's because when he is playing, I stay out so long, and dance so much that, it's fair to say, the bar benefits. I've noticed I'm not the only one having fun. I thinking everyone else in the world is, also."

(David Walsh - MONA (Museum of Old and New Art))
