Sonne
The opening track of the Sonne EP, whose title is German for sun.
Rival Consoles, from Sonne (2014)
Ryan Lee West, who records as Rival Consoles, is the sole artist. The EP came out on Erased Tapes (ERATP059) on September 15, 2014, with a limited 12-inch, and the track later appeared on Odyssey / Sonne (Bandcamp dates it May 4, 2015). A shop description puts a Moog Voyager, a Prophet and tape delay at the core of the sound. West called the title track a very subtle set of melodies that repeat almost without confidence.
Aidan Hanratty of Truants heard it open on an exuberantly high-pitched synth riff in flighty 3/4, shift baroque around 1:30 with dense synthetic organ tones, and end on a bright filter sweep he compared to morning light. We found no recording date, chart entry, video or live history.
