Improvisation 1 [Burnt Dot - Sarah Reid/Ryan Gaston]

Sarah Belle Reid is a performer-composer who plays trumpet, modular synthesizer, and an ever-growing collection of handcrafted electronic instruments. Her unique musical voice explores the intersections between contemporary classical, experimental and interactive electronics, noise music, and improvisation. She has been recognized for her innovative work in expanding the "possibilities of the humble trumpet into new territory by the application of innovative sensing technology and sound processing” (Sequenza 21), including the development of her augmented trumpet, called MIGSI. Reid's debut album for trumpet and interactive electronics, "Underneath and Sonder," was released on pfMENTUM in October, 2019.
