Robert Reed 50 Keyboardist for the Go-Go Band Trouble Funk – New…
New York Times – Apr 19, 2008
Famous as a tight live band it played shows that routinely lasted for hours. Reed whose stage name was Syke Dyke toyed with his keyboards to create flashy electronic noises that could resemble science-fiction sound effects. Reed’s childhood friend who was called Big Tony played bass and acted as the “talker” sing-speaking repetitive call-and-response phrases to whip up both band (“Hey fellas do you want to take time out to get close to the ladies?”) and crowd (“Get on up!”). Early on Trouble Funk was adopted by tastemaking D… Reed was born in Newport News Va. and later moved with his five siblings to Washington where his mother worked as a nurse. He graduated from Howard University with a degree in music and had recently worked at Bowie State University in Bowie Md. instructing students in recording technology. In addition to his brother Taylor his survivors include two other brothers Ernest and Melvin; two sisters Sheila and Toni; his wife Sheila; a son Robert Jr. ; and a daughter Angela.
Touch of Jazz at the New Plaza Hotel NYC
eJazzNews – Apr 19, 2008
-based composer known for seasoning his traditional acoustic sounds with digital and electronic elements produced over three hours of music: 1. 5 hours of big band Sinatra-style music performed by large ensembles for the lobby and adjacent hallways; and two hours of electronica and chill-out remixes for the mezzanine bar and lounge areas. Recorded works include jazz pieces featuring members of the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra and soloists Avisahi Cohen (trumpet) Anat Cohen (sax and clarinet) and Misha Piategorsky. After composing new works for seven months recording 73 varying musicians in Los Angeles New York Prague Las Vegas and Israel collaborating with both Gal Nauer Architects and Meyer Sound for six months and completing a two-week mixing session at the hotel this one-of-a-kind $1 million project brings a dynamic multi-mix musical experience to the hotel. Complementing the Plaza?s contemporary revamping this marks the first hotel in the world to implement this highly advanced sound and design structure.
Awesome Truckasauras techno-rock plus a live drummer
Seattle Times – Apr 19, 2008
The Seattle techno-rock quartet stomped through a special set at Neumo’s last night. Taking the place of their usual 808 drum machine was an actual drum kit manned by an actual human. Typically the band plays all-analog electronic instruments: a rejiggered Gameboy scrolling through Nintendo-tone notes a Commodore 64 chip melded to a MIDI keyboard and that classic 808 boom and bap. The live drummer was a welcome twist pounding out like bas-relief the contrast between human and machine. The trash culture iconography — professional wrestlers and beefcake actors Foxy Boxers and big-budget explosions — was provided by the group’s video mixer their fourth man projected onto a vinyl screen at the back of the stage. Music and video — plus bandleader Adam Swan marshaling the crowd with a megaphone — came together in an in-your-face experience far more like a booze-fueled monster truck rally than a dark urban rave. It was hard to tell if Truckasauras was goofing on inbred Americana and Hollywood violence or earnestly embracing it; the music was good enough to render moot the distinction… The live drummer was a welcome twist pounding out like bas-relief the contrast between human and machine.

It was hard to tell if Truckasauras was goofing on inbred Americana and Hollywood violence or earnestly embracing it; the music was good enough to render moot the distinction. More than your typical electronica act Truckasauras focused on songs — formal compositions that braided layers of simply shaped melodies into a complex rhythmic whole. (And yes they reconstructed the “Airwolf” theme into a sweeping analog anthem. ) The music is beautiful strangely so and hard-charging at the same time.
Digital photo frames work best when kept simple
Seattle Times – Apr 19, 2008
For not much more than the price of a professionally framed 8-by-10 print one of these compact LCD screens can show off hundreds of vacation photos. They can provide an elegant solution to the problem of sharing all the shots you accumulate with a digital camera. But as I found while testing four new models — made by Ceiva Logic Kodak Smartparts and Westinghouse Digital — they can also combine the worst traits of computers and electronic gadgets. As the prices of digital frames have plunged the devices have also grown more complex as each manufacturer reaches for ways to make its product stand out. The frames read photos saved on a memory card or USB flash drive plugged into the back. Most can also store photos in built-in memory and play music and video. Many come with remote controls and can connect to a home network… As the prices of digital frames have plunged the devices have also grown more complex as each manufacturer reaches for ways to make its product stand out. The frames read photos saved on a memory card or USB flash drive plugged into the back. Most can also store photos in built-in memory and play music and video. Many come with remote controls and can connect to a home network. Not all of the add-on features are worth using. A digital picture frame’s innards may hide some of the same ingredients as a personal computer but that doesn’t mean it should act like one on the outside. Consider one of the most common bonus functions on digital frames the ability to play video.
