Rick Reed

Rick Reed is an American composer, improviser and visual artist, born in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1957 and based in Austin, where he has been part of the experimental scene since the late 1970s. Self-taught, he works with shortwave radio, very low frequency transmissions, field recordings, sine waves and Moog and Buchla synthesizers. Rick Reed has recorded alone and with others since the 1980s. A release in the Center of the Ass Run series of Byron Coley and Thurston Moore brought him wider notice.
