Bradford Reed

Bradford Reed is a New York–based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and performer whose music blends jazz, rock, ambient, and electronic elements with a focus on improvisation and unconventional sound. His past projects include King Missile III, the original Blue Man Group band, and collaborations with Hoppy Kamiyama, as well as scores for Superjai! and Ugly Americans. He currently performs with The Dirt Whisperers, Grains of Euphora, Ω▽ (Ohmslice), and Order of the Illusive. His work is distinguished by his invention of the pencilina, a custom double-neck instrument central to his explorations of sound, processing, and synthesis.
