2024 marks the twentieth anniversary of Author & Punisher, and the industrial project will kick off the year with a short tour to celebrate, joined by Morne and Glassing.
Tristan Shone offers:
Author & Punisher started as myself playing guitar with a drum machine in 2004 as a move towards being more efficient as one person; I'd had enough of band complexities slowing things down. Throughout the years I opened the flood gates and through my experience at art school I began experimenting with what industrial doom and drone metal really could be. Fast forward 20 years, I feel as though A&P has become part of my psyche...when I walk down the street with headphones listening to tracks I'm developing, my right hand is cycling through beats and I'm visualizing how I can meld the mechanical and the atonal; it has become second nature. In thinking back, I've had some great on stage experiences, but equally valuable were the experiences...the weird ones where someone goes out of their way to take you somewhere to eat or see something that is off the charts. I have no doubt that A&P will continue as a creative vessel for many years to come.
Expect more updates from Shone throughout the year.
