About this Event
Martin Reuter is an independent Jazz/Funk artist known for deep grooves and dreamy, psychedelic, ambient soundscapes. The composer and multi-instrumentalist has lived a life dedicated to perfecting his craft. Reuter was exposed to the world of music from as early as age 8 in his hometown of Clervaux, Luxembourg. He played the euphonium in a 60-piece orchestra in his small hometown surrounded by dairy farms and a Medieval castle. He was highly regarded and won multiple awards in the classical world. However, his passion always lay with contemporary music amongst the traditional countryside. He began to teach himself less-formal instruments including the drums, electric bass guitar, synthesizer and electric guitar.
◆◆◆
Martin was born in Luxembourg and spent his first 2 years living in Algeria.
At age 6, he started Solfège in Luxembourg. Two years later, he played Euphonium (small tuba) in a 60-piece orchestra. When a family friend gave him a drumming book, he taught himself to play drums and shortly after, bass and synthesizer. As a teenager, he played in Pop, Rock, Blues and Crossover bands.
After moving to New York at 18, he enrolled at Drummer's Collective and lived in Harlem, playing African music. The same year, he recorded his first solo album ( on which he played drums, bass, guitar, synth and percussion ), which went to number 4 of the Luxembourg Charts and got him invited to the biggest Jazzfestivals from Europe to Asia.
Martin experiments in his music and involves different styles (fusion jazz, rock, psychedelic electronica) and influences (Joe Zawinul, Miles Davis). "I push myself to come up with interesting harmonies and to combine them with original grooves"
Martin's music has the capacity to reach and move people from all walks of life. His live performances involve an intensity that connects to the audience and draws them in.
