Berlin-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Bernhard Reiss is active in the areas of Experimental Pop Music, film scores and the improvisatory field of "Music A La Minute”, working across and beyond genre boundaries as well as with various collaborators. Musically, his style is subscribing to the areas in-between, and is characterized by the idiosyncratic combination of polyrhythmic basic structures and atmospheric layering of sound.
