Anla Courtis

Alan Courtis, better known as Anla Courtis, is an Argentine experimental musician and founding member of the legendary Buenos Aires group Reynols. Formed in 1993, Reynols — which included drummer Miguel Tomasín, who has Down syndrome, as an equal creative force — produced some of the most celebrated and mysterious music to emerge from South America, combining noise, psychedelia, folk, and free improvisation in ways that were as much conceptual as musical.

After Reynols concluded, Courtis continued as a prolific solo artist and collaborator, working with noise, drone, extended guitar techniques, and field recordings.
