Author & Punisher is Tristan Shone, a one-man band the mechanical engineer created in 2004.
In this episode of Studio Science, filmed at Moogfest 2018, Author & Punisher explained his DIY philosophy and approach while guiding us through the latest iteration of his performance setup, featuring new versions of his controllers for rhythm, pitch and assignable parameters.

__________________________
Inspired by his experience playing in bands and love of industrial music and doom metal, Shone writes and performs as Author & Punisher using an intricate setup of custom controllers which he designs, prototypes and builds himself. These controllers are machined in CNC (the computer numeric control), 3D-printed and powered by Arduino, open-source software and hardware that allows Shone's inventions - with names like Big Knobs and Grid Iron - to communicate with hardware instruments and software such as Ableton Live. Beyond the practicality of enabling Shone to perform by himself, these DIY controllers are also a way for him to add a more engaging physical dimension to the MIDI controllers that have become a standard in electronic music. The result is a unique setup where Shone controls every aspect of the music manually, live. Or as he puts it, “If I’m not touching something, you’re not hearing something.”
Red Bull Music Academy is the educational pillar of the Red Bull Music program.

@@StanleyKubick1 As someone who really enjoys modulars, that's something entirely different. As for 'bigger controllers for midi,' sure, but he engineered it all himself and managed to create a rig where he can do an entire live show by actually playing each and every sound, instead of just using a 'push to play'. I mean the difference between his HOTAS style setup and just a regular midi keyboard alone is apples and oranges. Not to mention the fact he does generate sounds from scratch with some of the equipment like the custom mic and the throat equipment.
