  • Description

    'Falling for Ascension' finds Germany-based composer and Touch Guitarist Markus Reuter working with live electronics specialist, Tobias Reber and Switzerland's post-minimal quartet, SONAR.

    Since the late 1990s Markus Reuter has steadily made a name for himself as a formidable player, a gifted improviser and a composer for both rock and classical music ensembles. A specialist in touch guitar playing, Reuter became known as a leading player of the Warr Guitar and Chapman Stick during the 1990s and 2000s. In collaboration with former King Crimson member Trey Gunn, he runs the Touch Guitar Circle, a teaching and support network for touch guitar players.

    Reuter is a member of multiple ongoing bands and projects (including centrozoon, Tuner, Stick Men, The Crimson ProjeKct and Europa String Choir). Most recently, he has begun to establish himself as a contemporary classical composer via the performance and recording of his large-scale orchestral piece Todmorden 513.

    Perhaps sharing similar strands of the kind of polymetrical DNA that informed the interweaving knot-work of King Crimson's Discipline, the pointillist components with Reuter's pieces, interacting across the group, resembles a series of interlocking constellations whose orbits and traversals connect to create new variations and associations. Hypnotic and beguiling, the music comes with a guttural punch that's felt as much as heard.
