AUTHOR & PUNISHER

In the organizer's words:

AUTHOR & PUNISHER

Doom-Metal, Drone, Metal, | San Diego, USA

AUTHOR & PUNISHER is a one-man band led by Tristan Shone. Utilizing custom-built machines, controllers and speakers referred to as "Drone Machines", the music borrows heavily from aspects of industrial automation, robotics and mechanical tools and devices, focusing on the eroticism of interacting with machines. In 2024, AUTHOR & PUNISHER celebrated two decades of perfecting his craft - meticulously inventing, editing, experimenting and creating bespoke musical instruments for his incredible recordings and live performances, touring the world with artists such as "TOOL", "HEALTH", "Pertubator", "Neurosis" and many more. 2025 will see the release of his eighth full-length album via Relapse Records, along with an even stronger emphasis and rebirth of visceral live ritual. "Drone Machines" is a maker of bespoke audio devices that invites musicians and creatives into this intuitive and tactile world. The devices create a connection to material and mechanical movement, forming an interface between man and machine for the artist to experience. (Source: Organizer)
