We just caught up with Tristan Bechet aka TRZTN about his collaboration with Karen O, which recently featured on the new Gossip Girl reboot.
Tristan says - "Karen O and I have known each other since our formative years as young art-frazzled NYC rockers. Time and again our paths collide in service of a project where our respective musical strengths, albeit from different dimensions, come together in serendipitous ways. I never know what to expect when we collaborate apart from a feeling in the belly that "it will be dope. Hieroglyphs' cements my album's theme of trans-dimensional, surreal journeys. I sent her a simple sketch which she then recorded her poetic, whimsical lyrics setting the tone for what's to come. Her siren-like wails and dream-like approach added the spatial dimension. I embarked on a phantasmagorical way of production without holding back - sculpting sound, more than composing conventionally. I recorded clangs and industrial drums clattering off one another to create something both dissonant and cinematic. The track disintegrates and falls back together like the push and pull of a rubber band stretching.' Hieroglyphs' resembles an odd Lynchian dream state; bizarre and beautiful. A sonic portrait that warbles away into space dust."
