Markus Reuter Biography

Markus Reuter is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on September 3, 1972 in Lippstadt, Germany. Markus Reuter (born Lippstadt, Germany 1972) is a German multi-disciplinary musician as well as a composer, record producer and designer of instruments.

A expert in touch guitar playing, Reuter became known as an elite player of his Warr Guitar and Chapman Stick in the 90s and 2000s before adopting, developing as well as marketing his personal U8 as well as U10 touch Guitar instruments. Together with the former King Crimson member Trey Gunn He runs his own organization, the Touch Guitar Circle, a group of support and teaching for players who play the touch guitar.

In 1993, Reuter began a six-year degree course in psychology at Universität Bielefeld. While at university, Reuter pursued further musical education. Between 1993 and 1996 he studied free improvisation with Gerd Lisken and became a member of Lisken’s Chaos Orchester Bielefeld. During 1995 he studied contemporary classical music with Belgian composer and touch guitar (Stick) player Daniel Schell: he also studied Indian music with Ashok Pathak and developed his existing interest in permutation-based compositional principles. In 1996 (while still part-way through his degree course and his Guitar Craft studies) Reuter performed his first complete concert of entirely self-written compositions, and embarked on a career as a professional musician.

By his own admission, Reuter was not a particularly disciplined musician in his teens, initially relying on his innate musical talent. His approach changed when he took up the Chapman Stick in early 1993, following discussions with Fripp and inspired by Reuter’s own admiration for King Crimson’s Stick player Tony Levin. Learning to play both the 10-string and 12-string models of the instrument required a disciplined approach to study and practice, which Reuter adopted and turned to his advantage. At around the same time, he began to develop a serious interest in textural loop music and started to experiment with a form of “instant composition” using a system of out-of-synch looping devices.

In the midst of his work in the art-pop side that is centrozoon (featuring Tim Bowness), Reuter has worked for a long time with the songwriter, producer, and art-pop singer Lee Fletcher, having met Fletcher on an Guitar Craft course in the mid-1990s. Reuter is a featured instrumental performer and general contributor to Fletcher’s albums Faith in Worthless Things and The Cracks Within – FiWT Remixes, as well as recording the Islands single (a Mike Oldfield cover under the name of Fletcher|Fletcher|Reuter) and playing on Fletcher’s 2017 single The Chancer.
