Retsin was an American experimental music duo that blended guitar-driven textures with electronic production and avant-garde sensibilities. Founded by Tara Jane O'Neil and Cynthia Nelson, the project emerged from the innovative underground music scene with a distinctive approach that bridged indie rock instrumentation and electronic experimentation. Their work explored intricate layering, unconventional song structures, and sonic textures that challenged traditional genre boundaries.
The duo's output was characterized by meticulous production and a willingness to deconstruct and reimagine familiar sounds through a distinctly experimental lens. Retsin's contributions to the broader electronic and alternative music landscape demonstrated how traditional instruments could be transformed through processing and arrangement into something entirely novel, influencing artists working at the intersection of rock and electronic music.
