Anla Courtis (Reynols)

With Richard Francis, (solo) and Clinton Watkins and Phil Dadson (duo)

Anla Courtis is a composer with a playful, imaginative, borderless and truly free handwriting. He uses fragments of sound to build new, cohesive works and barely manipulated, cohesive recordings to construct dissected, cut-up-style tracks. Particular methods and tools are not entirely unimportant, as Courtis still holds a warm feeling towards his analog equipment. He regards the entire world as sound, its emanations as words of a language, which wants to be spoken and reconstructed in the studio and on stage each day.

He was a founding member of Reynols, a group with many albums on labels from the USA, Europe, Japan and New Zealand,

He has also 200 releases solo releases and collaborations in labels like Tonschacht (Germany), Blossoming Noise (USA), No-Fi (UK), RRR (USA), Riot Season (UK), Quasipop (Ukraine), Prele(France), Pink Skulls/Jewelled Antler (USA), C/Psi/P (New Zealand), Antifrost (Greece), Slottet (Sweden) and has toured extensively in Europe, USA, Japan & South America.
