About Me

Thematix ('thee-mat-iks') is a music experience pushing the limits of a 1-guitar/keys live electronica set-up. In studio and live Joel Reinke works with famous theme songs and adapts them into explosive, mind-numbing electro-anthems. Joel also composes original soundtracks and other custom music.
Collaborators & Guests Artists welcome![LOVEMYFLASH]
