Sounds Like
Strings, synths and beats dipped in T-1000 liquid metal and fan-shot with pink fairie dust, whilst being sung at in a lost Carnival space station hovering beside Solaris I guess...with a twist of green chartreuse and washed up child stars and talk show hosts attempting therapy.
Coterie is the free-wired audio dripper constructed by Tristen Deschain. Tristen combines elements of distorted filth with a lush dreaminess (‘Hybrid Pop’).
Hybrid Pop: Writing simple catchy melodies. Playing those melodies with carefully and hap-hazardly manipulated sounds.

This is the fourth serious musical project Tristen has been in, and the number of members manage to get fewer and fewer each time.
Tristen started playing music in a band called Valerie Violet -a four piece Goth-Jazz ensemble using junk-purcussion, guitars and keyboards. Although writing most of the purcussion and guitars for the band, Tristen performed vocals live.
The second was a murky atmospheric trip-rock band called FIVEANDAHALFMINUTES (still on myspace maybe) with producer Simon St. Marcus. They released a six track E.P with local New Zealand label R.T.O Records. In the band, Tristen composed guitars, all vocals, some drums and lotsa noise and keyboards. The bands popularity grew and they played a few festivals in strange remote places in New Zealand and packed out many inner city venues. The track ‘Cut Faces’ largely produced by Tristen was remixed several times by various artists including the now D.F.A signed Nick Harte of the Shocking Pinks, a close friend.
The Third was a dreamy electro-shoe gaze band called bREAK mISSION kILLS with Misfit Mod writer and producer Sarah Kelleher. A five track E.P was also released with this band. Tristen stepped aside on the vocal duties for this project and left that, and most of the keyboards to Sarah. Tristen did most of the guitars and bass. The roles were a lot more clear cut and Tristen regards this project as the most important to his growth as a composer. The track ‘Every Kitten’ was highly regarded and reached the charts in local radio stations.
Which brings us to the solo project known as Coterie. Alone, but still arguing about songs, but this time just with himself and himself only.
Some of Tristen’s main musical influences include: Failure, Autolux, My Bloody Valentine, Soul Coughing and Morphine.
Tristen is also a writer, and working on his second novel which reads like his music sounds, in a certain sense. He has written articles for Art Magazines, Art Galleries, News Papers, Websites and Gig Guides.
Hailing from Green New Zealand, living in Grey London.
Killing everything he eats.
Always striving to be less unhealthy.
Hard working and a repedative failure at mundane routine, Tristen has no other option but to make a long term living from writing and composition.

I have been working on songs and production at a Studio and production company in SoHo, London.
A promoter is representing me as an artist and the recordings I'm doing there.
The tracks are being taken on an extensive trip throughout Europe and the U.S and presented to music labels for consideration.
I JUST MIGHT HAVE A BAND IN A FEW MORE THAN A FEW WEEKS.
It will be a three-piece, Friendly laughing man who draws better than most people will be on guitar and bass. Friendly gear wizz with love for a girl on laptops, MPC and keys. And me, playing guitar and keyboards and my voice.
My producer/agent is setting up a series of private gigs in front of label reps and A&R types in a couple of months.
My song Careless Caress will be added to various radio stations across the U.K and Europe over the next few weeks as well. So if you hear it on the radio, can you let me know? Coz I don't know how to use a radio, or get station-reception, and I have a learning disability.
To all my friends. If you help me, I will know you really like me.
