Bree van Reyk is a drummer, percussionist, composer, sound artist and occasional maker of unkempt musical instruments. Her solo performances centre on exploring minimal, experimental and meditative experiential soundscapes using rustic, self-invented instruments and found objects. Recent commissions include new works for the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Dark MOFO, Sydney Chamber Opera, Monafoma, Darren Hanlon and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. Bree has forged a unique career collaborating with artists such as Gurrumul, Paul Kelly, Sarah Blasko, and the Australian Chamber Orchestra. Her solo album, ‘superclusters’, is a massed instrumental ensemble work featuring over 20 guest musicians including Jim White and Mick Turner (Dirty Three), and Véronique Serret (Will Barton, Joanna Newsom). Bree lives and works on the un-ceded lands of the Gadigal and Wangal and holds an Associate Lecturer role at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
