Homestead (2025)
A string quartet in 4 movements with an interlude, played by Apartment House
"The idea for Homestead came in 2023 during my time as Artist in Residence at Homestead National Historical Park in Beatrice, Nebraska, in whose archives I found the materials referenced in the titles of the movements, as well as the images on this album. As a fifth-generation Nebraskan, growing up on the native lands of the Chatiks si chatiks people (Pawnee), this project is a part of my process of learning, listening, and developing a relationship with the land and its stewards in my home state: a beautiful place with a rich history that is as much a part of me as it is part of the settler-colonial project of displacement and genocide through the Homestead Acts".
Everywhere the Truth Rushes In (2024)
Two voids: a string quartet and a chamber song for voice, flute, viola, and piano. “gorgeously contemplative string quartet featuring slow-moving, texture-rich unison lines articulated with exquisite patience by a coterie of Texas musicians.” - Bandcamp, The Best Contemporary Classical Music on Bandcamp.
if the thought evaporates (2024)
Session recordings of an improvisational piece for instruments and electronics, the backbone of which is a MAX patch containing six instances of intelligent oscillators. These ghosts in the machine listen to the performers and one another, making real-time decisions on frequency, duration, amplitude, and even deploying subtle effects based on received information from the performance itself.
Snow (2024)
30 minute composition for violin, cello, percussion, and piano. Released on Sawyer Editions on CD and Cassette. “On Snow, Kory Reeder provides two quarter-hour pieces whose notes fall softly like flurries, accumulating but never threatening.” - A Closer Listen
Self-portrait as a meditation on Somewhere Else (2023)
66 minute soundscape composition of field-recordings and subtle tones released on Sawyer Spaces.
Codex Vivere (2022)
72-minute piece, specially written for Apartment House. Released on Another Timbre. “Elegantly consonant and languorous, ‘Codex Vivere’ clearly suggests a slowing of time and landscape scale that hints at Reeder’s Texan background and the endless, timeless plains of his native, American countryside.” - Boomkat

Collection of Piano Preludes performed by Richard P. John. Released on Sawyer Editions.
I am not Here - (2021)
