Description:
Virginia Tech's Institute for Creativity, Arts and Technology (ICAT) presents an Open Rehearsal with Author & Punisher on Monday, February 5, 2018 at The Cube located within Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech.

Tristan Shone, the creator of and sole artist behind Author & Punisher, is participating in a live, open door rehearsal in the Cube. This is a unique opportunity to experience the Cube's spatial audio environment.

Find out what happens when man and machine unite to make a unique sound experience using the Cube’s spatial audio capabilities.

Tristan Shone, the creator and sole artist behind Author & Punisher, was named, “one of the most prolific acts in aggressive music,” by Noisey. After leaving a career as mechanical engineer in Boston to focus on art and sculpture, he moved west to pursue his MFA in Southern California. In the metal and machine shops of University of California, San Diego, Shone forged a relationship with design, sound and fabrication that ultimately yielded Author & Punisher‘s first music and mapped the journey away from traditional instrumentation towards custom made, precision machinery.

Shone used his technical knowledge, along with his artistic background to create what Wired Magazine has hailed as his own “special brand of doom metal.” All aspects of the Author & Punisher sound begin with physical movement, limbs struggling in unison to coordinate a wall of electronic rhythm and oscillation, ultimately conditioned by an organic and loose quality absent of sequencing and plastic perfection. Author & Punisher performances are a real amalgamation between man and mechanisms. They are direct, physical, heavy experiences that have amassed praise and intrigue from a wide array of audiences. Pitchfork styled him “immediate but mysterious,” Stereogum described his “chilling, unrecognizable form,” and NPR hails him as “a thrill [who] fires on all cylinders.”
