Martin Reisle is a Vancouver BC based composer, performer, improvisor, educator, artistic collaborator and calligrapher/designer. Whether with voice, cello, tenor-banjo, or guitar, Martin is consistently dedicated to the support and creation of local culture and community music making. Prior to the pandemic, they worked toward this aim primarily with Vanessa Richards and the Van Van Song Society (Woodwards Community Singers), now you are most likely to find them in their frontyard, playing detailed transcriptions of Duke Ellington’s early work with small non-vocal acoustic ensembles. Martin feels like a cloud, trying to become a tree.
