| The History of RetryLife |
|
RetryLife (previously known as RetRY Life Music) was a Canadian electronic music collective based in London, Ontario, Canada. Founded mid-2015 by Evan Pratten and Nathan Desjardins, 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.
RetryLife distributed music via their Bandcamp webpage as well as a now-defunct YouTube channel showcasing songs with short music videos and audio visualizations.
Collaborations
RetryLife twice collaborated with Lester B. Pearson School for the Arts 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".
Near RetryLife's time of founding, Evan and Nathan also participated in an initiative to bring live orchestral samples into the game Warframe as a collaboration between Lester B. Pearson SFTA and Big Blue Bubble.
