Northern Spy is a Brooklyn-based independent record label formed by former staff of the legendary ESP-Disk’ imprint. As an artist-run label, Northern Spy shines the light on musicians who are tenacious, forward-thinking and making devil-be-damned fine music, while finding substance in the disparate worlds of free improvisation and popular music.

Rhys Chatham is a renowned composer and guitarist born on September 19, 1952 in Manhattan, New York. With a career spanning decades, he has established himself as an influential figure in the music industry.
Chatham's unique style combines elements of minimalism, punk rock, and avant-garde composition. His compositions often feature repetitive patterns and layers of guitar sounds that create immersive sonic landscapes.
Influenced by artists such as Glenn Branca and Éliane Radigue, Chatham has collaborated with various performers to bring his vision to life. His work has inspired a diverse range of musicians including Oren Ambarchi, Pauline Oliveros, and Terry Riley.

Rhys Chatham's 'Harmonie du soir' presents three heavenly compositions. The title track is the first major piece written for the configuration of six electric guitars, electric bass and drums since 'Die Donnergotter' (1986). The second is 'The Dream of Rhonabwy', a piece written for large brass ensemble and percussion, realized in 2012 by a 70-piece brass band called Harmonie de Pontarlier, lead by the French conductor Patrick Erard. The last track on the CD version and bonus download for the vinyl edition is a 2012 studio performance of 'Drastic Classicism Revisited' featuring Rhys Chatham, David Daniell, and Ryan Sawyer. The whole package is presented lovingly, mastered beautifully by James Plotkin, with extensive notes by Mr. Chatham.
