Bio: Tristan Burfield has been described by a new band a day as a modern day electro "polymath". His music often incorporates lo-fi elements such as video games, toys, junk, glitches and noise. His sound refuses genre and rejects lazy and outmoded cliches.
His Keyboard and Electronic skills have a sense of harmonic musicality often lacking in the electronic scene. Whilst openly rejecting the hi-tech consumer fetishism of his peers Tristan's stubbornly retro approach (which has seen him brandish Gameboy's, Nes Consoles and Commodore 64 sound chips as soundsources) often embraces limitations as a means of creative inspiration.
A collection of tracks from the singer and multi-disciplinary artist's 111 collaboration series, featuring KMRU, Laraaji, and others. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2024
