DRONE MACHINES 1: Throttles

Tristan Shone is a mechanical engineer (hailing from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute), sculptor (UCSD MFA program) and musician (doom metal band Author & Punisher).  He has combined these three elements in his newest body of work entitled Drone Machines.  His work draws heavily on aspects of industrial automation, robotics and mechanical tools and devices focusing on the eroticism of interaction with machine.  Drone Machines are interfaces for music, but also extensions of your industrial primate and a direct reflection of what they control.

I perform as the lone worker in my doom metal alter ego existence Author & Punisher, physically maneuvering about the control room backed by 7000 watts of sound, reaching deep into the innards where wood and steel join as flesh and bone.
