about

Rieux is a partnership between Matt Werner and Nate Clark, who met twenty years ago and began recording together shortly thereafter—mostly indie rock that would never see the light of day. Clark moved to Portland and continued to pursue music, founding a couple indie rock/post-punk bands and playing with various other musicians in Portland’s iconic scene. Werner moved to Chicago and ceased creating music for about eight years, focusing instead on writing music reviews for Popmatters and other online music magazines.

The Gestalt Manifesto started to take shape in 2020 as Werner began investing more time in his new hardware synths. Once again, he reached out to Clark, and the two started their new venture as Rieux. The result is an album built layer upon layer, with sometimes barely perceptible elements contributing to the overall tone. Sometimes these pieces build toward dread. Other times they build toward optimism. The resulting sound is massive, yet detailed. A greater whole, the sum of its many parts.

The Gestalt Manifesto was made with Moog Subharmonicon, Moog Mother-32, Moog DFAM, Arturia Microfreak, Korg MicroKORG S, Arturia Buchla Easel V, Cherry Audio Dreamsynth, guitar, modular synths (Industrial Music Electronics Piston Honda, Mutable Instruments Plaits, Akemie’s Taiko, Music Thing Modular Turing Machine, Make Noise Maths, Noise Engineering BIA, Qu-Bit Bloom, among others), and other software synths.

Great record. wears it's influences proudly ..but retains a sliver of identity that is uniquely British and has a northern feel to it..I think that these geographic musical vignettes are realy evocotive of northern Newtown Uber estates and satellite communities..I hope this translates to a wider audience for him...he deserves the attention. give him his due .NOW . christopherogley

This is very close to what I heard/felt everytime we visited the grandparents in Runcorn. Ominous dread. Bleak dystopia. Concrete and terraced houses. Plus the air smells! MonkeyMajiks
