Randy Raine-Reusch
Randy Raine-Reusch is a composer / concert-artist specializing in New and Experimental Music for world instruments. An innovator interested in extending the boundaries of music, he has created distinct new performance styles on a number of instruments from his collection of 1000. His performances often include a number of rare endangered instruments from remote parts of the world.
Raine-Reusch has spent over fifty years exploring the relationship of music to psychology, philosophy, and spiritual practices. He studied at the Creative Music Studio with Fred Rzewski, Jack Dejohnette and Karl Berger, before going overseas to study with master musicians in Australia, Malaysia, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Burma and the Philippines, as well as with "National Treasures" in Korea and Japan. As a result his music now contains clear influences from a variety of indigenous cultures and is heavily influenced by Taoism and Zen. A two-time Juno award nominee, Raine-Reusch strives for a balance of virtuosity, innovation, and a contemplative depth of spirit, while retaining the essence of his instruments.
