Data Cult Audio 0181 - Tristan/Iseult

About: Tristan/Iseult is a nihilistic techno project that explores mythology sonically through modular synthesis. The project emerged first in a live setting back in 2015 at Der Bunker Teknobar in Phoenix, Arizona opening for SHXCXCHCXSH. That ethos of live sound exploration is reinforced with this set for Data Cult Audio, which was recorded in one take with no overdubs or post-production work. Up to this point, Tristan/Iseult has sought to give a nihilist reading of Dante’s Inferno, a profane understanding of moral sentiment as expressed through the narrative of sin and damnation. While modular synthesizers are the primary instruments used, cello and voice provide additional layers of sound — sometimes obvious, though at other times sampled and synthesized. Tristen/Iseult is currently working on a debut 4-track EP. Link: https://www.instagram.com/blackest_suun
