“Industrial Music” started out back in the 70’s as a mixture of harsh electronics, confrontation and punk transgression. As time went on, Industrial Music became a “style” instead of a “statement.”
Every now and then, a true innovator comes along that raises the bar of creativity. Tristan Shone, the man behind the industrial juggernaut Author + Punisher is one such innovator. In a sense, he has picked up where originators like Throbbing Gristle, Z’ev and Mark Pauline (Survival Research Labs) left off. True, Mark Pauline is not a musician, but his version of performance art undoubtedly informs Tristan’s work.
Tristan and I met up before his appearance at The Market Hotel out in the wilds of Bushwick, NY.
Check out “Beastland” the new full-length by Author + Punisher available on Relapse Records. Also, if you aren’t familiar with any of the artists I mentioned above, please check them out.
