Anechoic Chamber episode 10: Reynols

Greetings and welcome to Episode 10 of Anechoic Chamber, free form audio from the margins of arts and culture. This week’s guest is perhaps Argentina’s most eclectic musical export, Reynols. True to that eclectic form, this edition of Anechoic Chamber will proceed a little differently than before. After several email exchanges with founding member Anla Courtis, it was decided to do a show which would be wholly comprised of examples from Reynols’ sonic universe along with narration, by me, of their biography, as previously printed in the 2018 Pica-Disk box set ["Minecxio Emanations"] dedicated to the band. For newcomers: Reynols was founded in 1993 and has ever since been powered by the singular vision of Miguel Tomasin, a drummer / vocalist with Down’s Syndrome whose unorthodox interpretation of the universe around him gave rise to both musical forms and non-musical concepts the likes of which “normal” musicians, so-called, still struggle to create in order to differentiate themselves from their thousands of peers. Despite being no strangers to the interview circuit, being the subjects of various documentaries and (as we will get to in short order) being on Argentinian national television for a considerable amount of time, a certain fog of mysteriousness still covers the band’s activities and many of their acolytes might agree that it’s better this way. So, in this spirit, we’ll honor Anla’s request continue by allowing the band’s music center stage.
