Julia Reidy
Sydney native and Berlin-based musician, composer and improviser Julia / Jules Reidy makes music for processed and acoustic instruments (mostly guitars). Main albums, between folk abstractions and electronic experiments, can be described as a series of non-traditional song forms which combine unstable harmonic territories, explored through an innovative guitar playing based on microtonality, rhythmic elasticity and abstract narrative over stretched, episodic forms.

Trances, Jules Reidy's follow-up to the celebrated World in World (2022), gathers twelve tracks shifting between fragment and epic, returning to familiar phrases between forays outward into uncertain expanses. Through its exploration of the cyclical movements of grief and emotional turbulence, Trances produces a sonic world as raw, absorbing, and surprising as anything Reidy has created to date.

Julia Reidy's 7th album is an intimate set of songforms using just intonation guitar, electronics and voice: both rigorously experimental and emotive, World in World is undoubtedly the finest work yet of the prolific Berlin-based guitarist-composer.
