reynols 30th anniversary, 2023

Reynols are an Argentinian experimental band that began in 1993 in Buenos Aires. Their musical diversity spans everything from cosmic free rock, lo-fi drone and electronic music to conceptual sound art and socio-political observations.

Reynols have worked with an open-process DIY philosophy and been subject to multiple documentaries, amassing almost 80 albums to their name, touring the USA and EU as well as collaborating with experimental artists such as Damo Suzuki and Pauline Oliveros.

Having been approached by founding member of the band Anla Courtis, Craig Stewart Johnson (Invisible City Records) and Andy Wood (TQ Zine) are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the band with an archival exhibition of their work, following on from similar showcases in Belgium, Spain, USA and Japan.

This exhibition will present a range of archival documentation surrounding the band Reynols. The exhibit will include gig posters, press clippings, photo, video and audio spanning their entire career. We are presenting physical artefacts from collectors and enthusiasts around the world, giving a glimpse into the unique and esoteric discography they have amassed.

Through the archival material, we look to present the work of a band that have consistently striven to create free music in the purest sense. Embracing a DIY energy in all matters, their huge archive of material documents a band whose approach to creativity is singular in its expressiveness. Throughout their existence, they have advocated for an approach to inclusion, looking to make music accessible to people of all abilities, whether that be through workshops or collaborations, describing music itself as a fundamental civil right. 


Andy Hamilton reviewed the exhibition in The Wire Magazine (March 2024). You can download a PDF of the review here.
