Reidy layers alternate-tuned acoustic and electric guitars into slowly shifting microtonal webs, adding vaporous vocals, samples and restrained electronic processing. Their performances can move from close, fingerpicked detail to dense harmonic clouds; material from Clerestory also opens toward strings, sine tones and mathematical sequencing.

More about Jules Reidy

The Australian-born, Berlin-based composer emerged through improvisation and experimental guitar releases for Black Truffle, Editions Mego and Shelter Press before joining Thrill Jockey. Clerestory extends that practice into contemporary chamber music, presenting related material through JACK Quartet and Reidy's solo hex-guitar arrangements.

A story

Reidy lives beside Berlin's S-Bahn and listens to it for hours, finding it irritating and comforting at once.
