I was telling people that it felt like a real missed opportunity that there wasn't a camera pointed down on his gear with a screen or projector showing it because there's just so much going on that if you're not already a fan, you may not fully grasp exactly what you're seeing, and the way he took music that is normally just a person standing behind a laptop and midi controller and not doing a whole lot, and turned it into a real music experience.

This guy is the real deal.
First he blew my mind with the music and how it was made. Then we got to the part about cell biology and imaging.
I was wondering when Author & Punisher would get more recognition. Tristan is a true innovator

Saw him open for Dillinger a few years back, was really sick! Nice to see how much thought there is behind the instrument creation
This is definitely Doom metal- not the kind you hear everyday, but it's metal nonetheless- mixed with a bit of Power Electronics (or Electronic Body Music), classic Drone, and, of course, Industrial. So, don't believe all those credo freaks who're screaming bullshit about this not being metal.

His vocals are metal inspired with some 80's alternative thrown in there but at the end of the day this is Industrial not metal as there are no distorted guitars.

I listened to one of his albums a few years ago and it didn't really resonate with me, electronic music isn't particularly my thing and on top of that it didn't feel like he was using it to do enough. Knowing that it's all performed manually probably changes things though, at the very least changing that last assessment to "holy shit how is he doing so much!" I really need to give this music another shot with a better perspective.

How so? I don't listen to either, because neither compelled me to listen to them. If I found out that a mumble rapper was actually using a highly modified trumpet to "rap" that would also blow my mind and drive me to give them a second chance for similar reasons to the above. If anything, if I like his music purely because of the tools he uses then that would be the ideology that fuels modern hip-hop, which is notoriously image obsessed. By taking both on the merits of their sound rather than the superficial "human story behind the scenes" so to speak we can be honest about our preferences. For the record I never thought Author & Punisher was bad, even before. The music was obviously interesting before, just not interesting in a way I could personally see myself listening to on a daily basis. That's not something I can say for most modern hip-hop.
