Markus Reuter (born Lippstadt, Germany, 1972〔(Markus Reuter official biography timeline )〕) is a German multi-disciplinary musician, composer, record producer and instrument designer. His work spans (and frequently fuses) art rock, loop music, contemporary classical music and alternative pop. 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''. 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 before developing and marketing his own U8 and U10 Touch Guitar instruments. In collaboration with former King Crimson member Trey Gunn, he runs the Touch Guitar Circle, a teaching and support network for touch guitar players. As well as further collaborations with artists including Tim Bowness, Lee Fletcher, Ian Boddy and Robert Rich, Reuter has produced records by numerous musicians and released several solo recordings as both performer and composer. He is also part of an artist-owned production consortium which encompasses Iapetus Media, Unsung Productions and Unsung Records. ==Musical style== Most of Reuter's work to date has evolved from exploring touch-style instruments and sound processing. A technically skilled player, he performs using a variety of approaches from unprocessed sound and standard technique through to extreme processed textural sounds and drones. The majority of his solo releases have consisted of ambient textured music (with hidden processes) recorded using heavily-effected touch guitar and laptop. His more recent larger-scale composition ''Todmorden 513'' mixes this approach with chamber music and has been expanded to an orchestral arrangement in subsequent versions. In terms of composition, Reuter has shown a particular interest in process music, using rules-based algorithmic and serial compositional techniques.〔()〕 He has also worked with generative music (which informs both the harmonic designs of both ''Todmorden 513'' and his work with the band Tuner)〔(Biography on 'Todmorden 513' microsite )〕〔('Fifteen Questions with Markus Reuter' ) (interview on ''Fifteen Questions'' website)〕 and follows various improvisational approaches. Recently, he has been referring to his overall musical approach as "Modus Novus".〔 As a performer, Reuter is best known for his work as an art rock musician (partly due to his involvement with multiple projects related to King Crimson) and as an experimental ambient player. A keen and flexible collaborator by inclination, Reuter's work with other projects has also involved elements of chamber music, jazz, folk and various pop styles depending on context. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Markus Reuter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
