Alric studied computer science in college, believing that there wouldn’t be much opportunities later in his life. Youtube interview
After graduating college, he decided to return to music, working at bars and making projects that “never released [nor] went past the initial demo”. In 2017, Tristan would release his single Kemono|Dread Millennial, a personal project of his.Bandcamp page
In 2017, independent video game developer Jose Fernando “Genow” Gracia contacted Alric on a Discord server to compose music for the demos to their then-upcoming game Bug Fables (then known as "Paper Bugs"). Genow allowed him to play pieces of the demo in order to get the feel of the location and see on what location's theme should sound like. He called this experience as apart of his evolution as a composer.
==Reviews==
Tristan Alric - Songs From The Past (2013): 8.5/10.  Opening with 'Someday Strong,' an arching track showcasing dissonant string sweeps and a clattering piano arpeggio simultaneously reminiscent of both early Tortoise and Feels-era Animal Collective yet stunningly original in itself, 'Songs From The Past' is a hypnotic journey of a record.  This album has all the highs and lows you might expect from a neo-psychedelia act, showcased as 'One More Way,' an ebullient pop piece, fades into the brooding piano and hazy ambiance of 'Distant Figure' as the vocals are gradually washed over by cracking percussion and the instruments' delay.  This is further complemented by the dynamic shift into High Crow, a soaring psychedelic rock track that is not entirely dissimilar to Hogarth-era Marillion.  As the album progresses, each track takes a different turn from the last, although a few of the tracks take their time with progressing, which has the potential to turn away a few listeners.  That aside, 'Songs From The Past' is an electrifying release featuring top-tier sound design and songwriting that is definitely worth the attention of any fans of neo-psychedelia.
Best tracks: Someday Strong, Distant Figure, Things I Like, Paint Me A Shape
