about
Rick Reed (b. 1957) has been creating audio compositions since 1982. His recent works are intuitive studies of electricity, frequency fluctuations, and improvised ’on the fly’ solutions to symmetry problems in electronic sound. Over the past twenty years he has centered his live work on using short wave radio, synthesizers, and sine wave generators to create otherworldly synthetic sounds with a surface of aesthetic elegance and beauty.
Reed lives in Austin, Texas, and has performed throughout the United States and Europe, including shows in the Netherlands, Scotland, England, Switzerland (as part of the 100th anniversary of Cabaret Voltaire),California, Seattle, and a 2017 show with video artist Kjell Bjorgeengen in New York City, as part of the 12 hour Bill Ettra memorial, Global Groove Two. His music has been used by experimental filmmaker Ken Jacobs in four of his magic lantern films: Spiral Nebula, Mountaineer Spinning, Capitalism: Child Labor, and Another Occupation.
In addition, Reed is also a painter, videographer/film maker. His works can be viewed here:https://www.facebook.com/Rick-Reed-Casa-Magnetica-Viva-580651442111011/
Reed has also released music with groups such as Fear and Tension Corporation, The Abrasion Ensemble, Frequency Curtain, SIRSIT, as well as the international group, The Voltage Spooks (w/ AMM’s Keith Rowe). You can hear his work on such records as Dark Skies at Noon (2005), Dreamz/Blue Polz (2008), The Way Things Go (2011), Brilliant Flashes (2016). The Ecstasy of Barely Heard Sounds (2018).
