French musician, Tristan des Pres, throughout the years, has been involved in the production of many projects both for the music and multimedia markets.
Born in New York City, Tristan and his family moved to France where his parents provided an environment with a strong emphasis in classical music. His talents surfaced at the age of seven when he began to reproduce J. S. Bach Sonatas by ear on the piano. Formal instruction came shortly after.
Years of traveling around the world have led him into the exploration of many rhythmic styles and melodies from Africa, Asia, India, South America, and the West Indies. These sounds have impressed and enriched him, reflecting authentic and original styles in his writing and playing. Tristan also brings his world-class production and unique sound to a CD, World Affairs, and now Altered States.
In addition to Tristan's spectacular keyboard performances, violinist Jerry Goodman (from John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra and the Dixie Dreggs) provides melodies and solos that will make your eardrums quiver with delight. Also appearing is Bunny Brunel on Bass, formerly with Chick Corea, as well as San Diego's own legend Hollis Gentry on tenor saxophone. David Delia contributes lyrics and voices on two of the cuts, and Bashiri Johnson provides the percussion.
