Markus Reuter

Re-Release of the 2005 debut album by TUNER, completely remastered and with newly mixed versions of two tracks.

'Pole' is an innovative modern rock album, best described as an amalgamation of the styles and sounds of Tool, Peter Gabriel, Nine Inch Nails, and the daring attitude and scope of contemporary art. Tuner consists of drummer Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, KTU) and German touch guitarist & multi-instrumentalist Markus Reuter (Centrozoon).

'Pole' was listed as one of 50 all-time Prog Classics in Modern Drummer magazine.

This international collaboration was conceived, composed and recorded in one intense week at Robert Rich’s Soundscape studio in California.

Robert Rich is arguably America's most highly regarded ambient musician and composer. With a discography spanning over 20 years, he is widely regarded as a figure whose sound has greatly influenced today‘s ambient, new age, and even IDM music. Touch Guritarist Markus Reuter is known for his adventurous work with Centrozoon and Tuner.

A collaboration between Ambient duo [´ramp] and Centrozoon/Tuner touch-guitarist Markus Reuter, Ceasing To Exist effortlessly combines crafted electronic dronescapes with imaginative loop-laden textural improvisations .

Trepanation is Markus Reuter’s first release with US electronica label Lotuspike, and is a typically inventive example of his unique compositional style and instrumental dexterity.

Trepanation shimmers with complex layers and contrasts, combining soft atmospheres and pulsing rhythmic guitar textures.

Featuring a continuous mix of music especially compiled by DiN founder Ian Boddy, this is the second DiN sampler album and is a successor to the disc included with the June 2001 issue of The Wire.

A low-price introduction containing 78 minutes of atmospheric and pulsing Electronica from the likes of Markus Reuter and Ian Boddy, the CD is presented in a beautifully designed cardboard wallet.

Arguably the UK’s leading independent electronic music maestro Ian Boddy has teamed up once again with German touch guitarist, Markus Reuter to create a stunning new album called Pure.
Although Boddy and Reuter have collaborated in concert (at Jodrell Bank in 1999 and the E-Live Festival in Eindhoven 2000), Pure represents their second proper studio outing since their impressive 1999 debut, Distant Rituals.

Boddy, Reuter and Mullaney offer a seamless blend of improvisation and composition in this latest disc taken from their appearance at the E-Live 2000 Festival in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

Markus Reuter is a member of the eclectic Europa String Choir and Centrozoon. Playing 8 string touch guitar Reuter bends notes and blends tones with Ian Boddy's sublime atmospherics. Watch the goose bumps rise as dense dark cloudscapes give way to luminous bliss in this fascinating collaboration.

Occupying a distinctive space between Robert Fripp's recent Soundscapes experiments, Brian Eno's 'Space Jazz' and Cluster's pioneering 70's electronica, German Touch Guitarist and improv loopist Markus Reuter (also a member of Centrozoon and Europa String Choir) should appeal to many fans of challenging contemporary Ambient.

Digitalis is an introduction to the unique sounds of Markus Reuter, who performs real-time compositions on the Warr Guitar, a tap-style 8-stringed instrument which is played less like a true "guitar" and more like a Chapman Stick. Reuter is also known for his work with Ian Boddy and the Europa String Choir. As a member of Centrozoon, he has recently collaborated with Tim Bowness.
