ABOUT

Tristillers is a musical collective born from the fusion of passion, nostalgia, and creative experimentation. A group of friends, musicians, and dreamers who reinterpret iconic songs from the 1970s — from Lucio Battisti to other legendary artists of that era — translating them and transforming them into new emotional experiences in English and French.

With no commercial goals, Tristillers perform for the joy of sharing, often taking part in charity or cultural events. Their live shows blend acoustic warmth, electronic textures, and heartfelt vocals, creating a unique soundscape that bridges eras and cultures.

The name Tristillers plays on the idea of “distilling” melancholy — but always with a touch of irony and lightness. Each song is a drop of pure feeling: translated, transformed, and reimagined with a fresh spirit and timeless soul.

Influences

Musically, Tristillers draw inspiration from the golden age of Italian progressive rock and classic singer-songwriters. Their influences include artists like Lucio Battisti, PFM (Premiata Forneria Marconi), Franco Battiato, Le Orme, and Fabrizio De André, as well as international acts such as Pink Floyd, Leonard Cohen, and Serge Gainsbourg. Their arrangements aim to capture the emotional depth and poetic atmosphere of that era while offering a fresh, cross-cultural reinterpretation.
