TRANS>PARENT RADIATION is honored to present the latest work by Rick Reed.  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 raido, 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.
