The Chair of Art in Space and Time at ETH is thrilled to announce the Zurich debut of musician Jules Reidy at Cabaret Voltaire. A driver of Berlin’s fertile contemporary music scene, the guitarist and composer is a respected polymath whose prolific output and worldwide touring has led to performances and collaborations with many lauded artists. Reidy’s sublime music maps the human experience in glittering constellations of sound. Their recordings and magnetic performances offer a truly futuristic, singular vision of guitar music. Explorations of microtonal mysticism and alternate tunings drawn from transcendental folk and minimalism color Reidy’s playful experiments with smudged pop melodics and sampling. A wide-eyed imagination combined with technical mastery guide each work in their extensive catalog. At Cabaret Voltaire, Jules Reidy will present tracks from their most recent album Ghost/Spirit. Released in February 2025, Ghost/Spirit collectively conveys an astral sense of yearning and wonder, pushing towards transcendence: the song trajectory charts a deeply personal journey with love, spirituality and transformation expressed in fractal guitar figures, ethereal vocal vapors and rippling microtones. The album mirrors Reidy’s own personal journey, resulting in a remarkable work of art of great musical depth.
