All Reitz Reserved

Born in 1992, Chris has picked up the violin at the age of 8, following musical lessons at the local music school in his home town Pétange until he was 19. His true passion for music emerged only after discovering the electric violin and its almost infinite possibilities. His decision to break away from the world of classical music came shortly thereafter. Since then, Chris has been striving to develop his musical expression, constantly trying to discover new sounds on his instrument. Anthem of the Sun, founded in 2009, was to become his first opportunity to step outside of the classical music world and take his newly acquired instrument on stage. The following four years allowed him to discover many national and international stages. Two EP’s were released until the project was shelved in 2013. Meeting the renowned André Mergenthaler was an important turning point in his young career. The gifted avant-garde cellist and long time live-looper has become a good friend and mentor to Chris. In 2012 they have pooled forces for the first time, playing a well-received concert in Maribor, Slovenia, European Capital of Culture 2012. Since then they have been demonstrating their musical synergies on a regular basis. Among the highlights of this collaboration was their appearance in 2013 at the Festival: Live at Vauban, playing as support act for Al di Meola. In early 2013, Chris decided to put further effort in the development of his solo project, named All Reitz Reserved. It has become his main project since then. All Reitz Reserved is first and foremost a flexible live project that allows Chris to cover a wide variety of events. It also provides a structure that allows him to experiment and improvise with different sound and music approaches in a live context. Apart from his main project, Chris is and has always been involved in a variety of side projects and bands. He’s been a member of Celtic-Heavy band Clanrock since 2013. Chris has also had appearances as guest musician in different music projects, such as “Tribute to Céline Dion”, “The Bangin’ Men” (Slade Cover). He’s also playing with Seed to Tree and Zero Point 5 on a regular basis. Chris is one of three musicians who have been in charge of the musical accompainment of the satiric lectures “Réckbléck op de läschte Mount” and “Réckbléck 2015” by Roland Gelhausen and Jay Schiltz from 2014 to 2016.
