<p><strong>RetryLife</strong> (previously known as <strong>RetRY Life Music</strong>) was a Canadian electronic music collective based in London, Ontario, Canada. Founded mid-2015 by <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://ewpratten.com">Evan Pratten</a> and <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.artstation.com/kondroel">Nathan Desjardins</a>, the group was dedicated to publication and distribution of experimental Electronic dance music produced by a small group of local friends who struggled to find their own platforms.</p>
|
|
<p>RetryLife distributed music via their Bandcamp webpage as well as a now-defunct YouTube channel showcasing songs with short music videos and audio visualizations.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="collaborations">Collaborations</h2>
|
|
<p>RetryLife twice collaborated with <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_B._Pearson_School_for_the_Arts">Lester B. Pearson School for the Arts</a> to compose and produce music for various shows put on by the school's students. These collaborations include two orchestral pieces, "Lightining" and "Superspark", composed by Evan, along with a full-length theatrical soundtrack for the 2017 student-directed show: "Imagined".</p>
|
|
<p>Near RetryLife's time of founding, Evan and Nathan also participated in an initiative to bring live orchestral samples into the game <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warframe">Warframe</a> as a collaboration between Lester B.
