Gainesville-based composer/multi-instrumentalist Tristan Whitehill records under the moniker <en>Euglossine</en>. His immaculate strain of songcraft bridges the complex harmonies of jazz fusion, the ornate synth performances of library music, and the rapidly evolving sentimental resonances of video game music. Euglossine lays out his tracks as lush multi-instrumental productions that blend real-time performances on guitar, bass, and keyboards with detailed backdrops of programmed percussion and tiered layers of analog and modular synthesis. Though his songs showcase winding leads and knotty chord structures akin to progressive rock composition, he bypasses the trappings of virtuosity in favor of austere atmospheres and dynamic emotional arcs.

With a series of releases on labels like Hausu Mountain, Orange Milk, and Beer on the Rug, Euglossine has established himself as an influential artist in the contemporary music scene. His unique style draws inspiration from various genres while maintaining a distinctive sound that captivates listeners.

Similar artists who share Euglossine's experimental approach to music include More Eaze, Nico Niquo, Macula Dog, Giant Claw, Pulse Emitter, Shmu, Wobbly, Nonlocal Forecast, Andy Loebs,and Fire-Toolz among others. Fans of these artists will find themselves immersed in Euglossine's intricate compositions and evocative melodies.

Euglossine is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist and composer Tristan Whitehill - With a catalog of over ffteen diverse releases spanning a decade on labels like Orange Milk, Hausu Mountain, and Phinery, Euglossine's discography moves ambitiously across genre and time. Some Kind Of Forever is Euglossine's brand new full-length, out March 2022 on sound as language. Where previous Euglossine releases were a complex balance of jazz fusion, sound design, and computer music, Some Kind Of Forever sees the artist pulling back and searching for simplicity. On this album, Whitehill immerses himself in the light and delicate. Some Kind Of Forever is Whitehill's most refned and restrained work to date. Infuenced by the early ECM catalog, decades of groovy/weird library music, and domestic golden-hued psychedelia, Some Kind Of Forever's subtle, meditative jazz foats by ever so softly. The album's rich and open instrumentals are pristinely constructed yet always playful. Whitehill moves deliberately as he carefully peels back the layers to create something magical and tender. Some Kind Of Forever is an instant timeless classic and the warm, gentle breeze we all need right now.
