In this mini-episode with Todd Reynolds, we learn about the Meyer Sound System that is at the heart of STUDIO 9 and why it is the best in the world at what it does. Todd opens a window into the reasons why this level of sound is so incredible and how STUDIO 9 can become a centerpiece of the recording industry on the East Coast.

 

Todd Reynolds

Todd Reynolds is a self-proclaimed “solo classical violinist gone horribly wrong.” For years, he has been the violinist of choice for contemporary artists such as Steve Reich, Meredith Monk, and Bang on a Can, and he’s also a founder of the string quartet Ethel. As a frequent performer at Carnegie Hall and concert halls around the world, his compositional and performance style blends old and new technology, incorporating a multi-disciplinary aesthetic with pan-genre composition and improvisation. He thrives on stage—whether virtual or physical—surrounded by speakers and a mission control setup, allowing him to record and compose in real-time. His musical arsenal spans hybrid technologies from the 1800s to the 2100s, including a classical violin integrated with digital tech running through Ableton Live and Cycling 74’s Max/MSP, both essential in creating his double-disc debut solo album Outerborough, released in 2011 on the Innova label. With over thirty years of experience in the New York City music industry, he feels fortunate and grateful, having already checked many items off his bucket list, particularly collaborating with artists like Yo-Yo Ma, Todd Rundgren, Joe Jackson, Mark Mothersbaugh, and even Bruce Springsteen. He currently resides in the woods of northwestern Massachusetts, where he produces, records, coaches, streams, and supports like-minded artists through his education portal, Amplify This.
