   About Todd Reynolds
Icy Sleeves of Green

Add to My Profile | More Videos "...playful like milhaud, but hard-edged like hendrix." - Strings Magazine "Todd Reynolds, more than any other New York violinist, has mastered the styles of jazz and classical with equal skill and flair." - The New Yorker "The piece metamorphosed between thoughtful composed passages and well-guided improvisations… (with) impassioned violin soliloquies by Todd Reynolds." - New York Times "The piercing violin of Todd Reynolds is haunting." - Amazon.com, regarding the recording of In C on Cantaloupe Records. "The performance benefited from violinist Todd Reynolds, who rendered the piece with astonishing virtuosity and commitment." - San Francisco Chronicle "Todd Reynolds’ multifaceted tone and soulful performance, presented a happy marriage of long, lyric gesture and plucky commentary… " - Rochester Democrat and Chronicle "Stimulating, provocative, and musically impressive… The performance was stunning. Reynolds could do no wrong, and he made light of the work’s formidable technical difficulties. If more people could hear more concerts of this ilk, perhaps contemporary music would once more become an integral part of all our lives." - Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

TODD REYNOLDS (NYC), composer, conductor, arranger, violinist and electronic musician, is a veteran of the New York City music scene, and a longtime touring and recording member member of Bang On A Can, Steve Reich and Musicians and Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Project . Collaborations run the gamut from Todd Rundgren and Joe Jackson to Kenny Werner and Betty Buckley to Meredith Monk and Scanner. His solo sets on tour opening for Indie sensations, The Books, and his affiliation with and use of the music software phenomenon Ableton Live have opened his unique blend of "classically- improvised-quantum-ambient-electronica" to a new and wider audience. His commitment to genre-bending and technology-driven innovation in music continues to produce innumerable collaborations with artists that regularly cross musical and disciplinary boundaries, regularly placing him in venues from clubs to concert halls around the world.

A forerunner in the expansion of the violin beyond its classical and ’wood-bound’ tradition, Reynolds electrifies in concert, weaves together composed and improvised segments, and makes use of computer technology and digital loops to sculpt his sounds in real time, seamlessly integrating minimalist, pop, Jazz, Indian, African, Celtic and indigenous folk musics into his own sonic blend. As a cross-genre improviser and collaborator, he has appeared and/or recorded with such artists as Anthony Braxton, Uri Caine, John Cale, Steve Coleman, Joe Jackson, Dave Liebman, Yo-Yo Ma, Graham Nash, Greg Osby, Steve Reich, Marcus Roberts and Todd Rundgren, and has commissioned and premiered countless numbers of new works by America’s most compelling composers, including John King, Phil Kline, Michael Gordon, Neil Rolnick, Julia Wolfe, David Lang, Evan Ziporyn and Randall Wolff. His interdisciplinary work includes ongoing collaborations with SoundPainter Walter Thompson as well as media artists Bill Morrison and Luke DuBois and sound artist Jody Elff.

Reynolds is a founder of the band known as Ethel, a critically acclaimed amplified string quartet (represented by ICM Artists), with whom he wrote and toured internationally for its first 7 years. He also carries in his booking stash ’Still Life With Microphone’, an ongoing theater piece which incorporates his own written and improvised music, compositions written for him, and elements of video and theatrical arts. Nuove Uova [new eggs], new works for violin and electricity, another Todd Reynolds production is a ’new-music cabaret’ of sorts, having as its home Joe’s Pub in Manhattan. He is the recipient of ASCAP awards, an American Composers Forum Grant for Still Life with Mic and Commissioning and Performance grants from Meet The Composer, classical music’s funding godsend to the continuation of the classical music tradition.

Todd hey hope LA trip was wonderful, sounded like really great series of gigs. Well a year into the viol I received an acoustic one for this father's day and shot some playing over the 4th which I wanted to send as a 'hello'... Dancing between it and fretless guitar but continuing to bow and dance!

Best Todd and thanks for the inspiration,
