Jordan Guerette is a composer, sound designer, guitarist, and educator from Portland, Maine.

 

Jordan performs regularly as a guitarist and vocalist as a member of folk/black-metal band Falls of Rauros. Their fifth full-length, Patterns in Mythology, was named one of the best albums of 2019 by Decibel Magazine and Metal Injection, and SputnikMusic called Falls of Rauros “masters of their craft”. In addition, Decibel Magazine named their 2011 album The Light that Dwells in Rotten Wood as #52 of the decade. 

 

Jordan also performs regularly with Forêt Endormie, a classical/neofolk group he started in 2016 to perform his compositions. Their debut album Étire dans le ciel vide was released on Pretty Purgatory in October 2017. Scene Point Blank said of the ensemble that “They do not appear to be bound or confined to an enclosed space, and instead roam freely through this magical world they have created.” A split LP with Minnesota’s Quercus Alba followed in 2019, which The Bollard called “extended suites that shift between dissonance and resolution so organically that it’s like they’re following the lunar cycle.”
