LiveOne
Author & Punisher is a one-man band from San Diego, formed by Tristan Shone in 2004. Born on October 18, 1977, Shone is a mechanical engineer and artist by training. Inspired to build his own instruments due to the limitations of conventional ones and the difficulty in finding band members, Shone created custom-designed "Drone Machines" and "Dub Machines" using raw materials and open-source electronic circuitry. Author & Punisher released their debut album, The Painted Army, in 2005. Later, Shone signed with Phil Anselmo's Housecore Records for the release of Melk en Honing (2015). The project then switched to Relapse Records, releasing Beastland (2018), Krüller (2022), and Nocturnal Birding (2025).
