Minerals One & Two

简介

Bradford Reed is a Brooklyn based composer, performer, percussionist and producer who fights and tames the idiosyncrasies of the pencilina, an original instrument of his own design and construction. The pencilina could be described as an electric 10 stringed collision of the hammer dulcimer, koto and slide guitar. In addition to extensive solo performances he played with King Missile III (and produced 5 of their records) and also played in the Blue Man Group’s original band for 10 years. Bradford is currently playing with Zach Layton in Minerals, a drum and guitar duet. In 2015 he started using an analog modular synthesizer to process percussion and using this technique as a foundation formed Ohmslice with Jane Lecroy. This project has drawn together musicians from different genres and video artists to create groundbreaking new works. Bradford produced records for artists including Phil Kline, Krakatoa, the Deedle Deedle Dees and Carol Lipnick. At the moment, he’s working with the Vital Record, an NYC based indigenous music label, producing an audiophile record of flamenco music from the Bay of Cadiz. Creating music for film and television has always been at the center of Bradford’s career. He was awarded a fellowship to the Sundance Institutes’s Film Composers’ Lab and a residency at the Ucross Foundation. He composed the music for Comedy Central’s mockumentary Golden Age and 3 seasons of its animated series Ugly Americans, as well as music for the first season of Superjail! on Adult Swim. Transfatty Lives, a recent scoring project, won the audience awards for Best Documentary at the 2015 Tribeca, American and Milan film festivals. He’s also half the duet of Reel Orchestrate who’ve been doing live music for silent film around New York for the last 5 years based primarily around Williamsburg’s Nitehawk Cinema. http://pencilina.com/ Zach Layton is a guitarist, composer, curator, teacher and visual artist based in New York's Hudson Valley.
