Berlin based guitarist, producer, and composer Jules Reidy shares work from their recent album Ghost/Spirit (Thrill Jockey, 2025). Ghost/Spirit was conceived during a period of dissolution and transformation. Through the experience of a major shift in their personal identity and a rediscovery of their fascination with mysticism, the album documents a major movement in Reidy’s understanding and experience of earthly and divine love. “My personal experience with mysticism is intuitive, and expresses itself mostly through music. I understand and experience practice as being a struggle and expression of my relation to life’s display and as a tool for transcending it,” they explain.

“The album is infused with this energy of being absolutely destroyed, and having the potential to be remade.”

Also on the bill is a set from NY-based singer, piano and visual artist Eliana Glass.

Jules Reidy’s breathtaking recordings and magnetic performances offer a futuristic, singular vision of guitar music. A driver of Berlin’s fertile contemporary music scene, Reidy is a respected polymath whose prolific output and worldwide touring has led to performances and collaborations with myriad lauded artists. Their explorations of microtonal mysticism and alternate tunings (drawn from transcendental folk and minimalism) color playful experiments with smudged pop melodics and sampling. A wide-eyed imagination combined with technical mastery guide each work in Reidy’s extensive catalog, from solo guitar albums and collaborations with innovative peers, including recent works with claire rousay, Oren Ambarchi, Andrea Belfi and Sam Dunscombe to major commissions from institutions such as JACK Quartet and Zinc & Copper.
