About this event

Old Empire Presents Author & Punisher Plus special guests Big Lad. Author & Punisher is a one man band led by Tristan Shone. Utilizing custom fabricated machines, controllers and speakers called Drone Machines, the music draws heavily on aspects of industrial automation, robotics and mechanical tools and devices, focusing on the eroticism of the interaction with machine. In 2024 A&P celebrated two decades of honing in on his craft - meticulously inventing, machining, experimenting, and creating custom musical instruments for his incredible recordings and live performances, touring the world with artists like TOOL, HEALTH, Pertubator, Neurosis & many others. 2025 will see the release of his eighth full-length album via Relapse Records along with an even greater emphasis and rebirth of the visceral, live ritual. ‍
