Radere is Carl Ritger, a sound artist from Philadelphia who is currently living and working in Colorado. Inspired by the notions of stasis and chance, he has explored the fusion of organic sound sources and digital processing techniques since 2003, releasing works for a range of labels, including Full Spectrum, Moodgadget, basic_sounds and Futuresequence, among others. Largely avoiding synthesis in favor of loops and live instrumentation, Ritger's work blurs guitars, tape recordings and electronics into a densely textured wash of sound, burnished with carefully sculpted distortions and location recordings.

This space largely collects works in progress and off-the-cuff improvisations, along with the occasional finished piece. Please visit my Bandcamp shop - listed below - for a full selection of my releases.
