An active sound-artist for the past 20 years Reed
has released several LP’s on labels such as Ecstatic
Peace, Beta
Lactam Ring, Pale Disc Japan, and Elevator
Bath. His latest projects have been providing the soundtrack
for New York film maker
Ken Jacobs’s latest work
“Mountaineer Spinning” and creating a sound installation
for Herman Nitsch’s latest gallery exhibit “The
Orgies Mysteries Theater” in Houston Texas.
For this release Reed has composed with the sound sources used
for the Nitsch installation to create a dynamic and hypnotizing
39-minute sound work. With masterful control of his Moog, World
War II era sine-wave generators, short-wave radio, and assorted
hardware [no computers here] Reed pulls the listener ever deeper
into their Id. When we first listened to this work it functioned
as a kind of audio Rorschach test conjuring up images of rutting
wild sheep charging forth with ecstatic intensity which then, bruised
and exhausted, wedge their way back into their mothers' wombs in
an attempt to melt back into what was there before they were. Listen
with caution.
