Kory Reeder
Described as “one of the most captivating composers in modern classical music” (Dallas Observer), Kory Reeder is an American composer and performer whose music, drawing inspiration from the visual arts and political theory, is often introspective with a “rarefied atmosphere” (Bandcamp), investigating ideas of objectivity and immediacy, while exploring the social implications of musical interaction with pieces ranging from symphonic and chamber works to field recording, text scores, computer-assisted improvisation, and 24-hour live performance art works: “Pushing at limits was always on Reeder’s agenda” (Chamber Music America). Kory’s music is performed frequently around the world in concert halls, festivals, academic settings, basements, and DIY venues. As a performer and tours frequently as an independent artist or as an ensemble member performing his music and works of others and as guest lecturer. With a catalog of over 150 programmed works, his music has been released on Edition Wandelweiser, Another Timbre, Full Spectrum Records, Sawyer Editions, Sawyer Spaces, Impulsive Habitat, Thanatosis, Harmonic Ooze, and kuyin.
