Pencilinaist Bradford Reed and posse take the IPR on another carefully orchestrated joy tour. There will be sights of unique intra-galacticlandscapes with an aural backdrop of unusually beautiful music. A unique blend of sources and ideas is provided to faithfully cover full range hearing of a hi-fi combination chamber, homemade and electric instruments. All this precisely channeled from parts of the galaxy in real time by a seasoned human crew. Also, The space tanker provides plenty of passenger leg room.
Bradford Reed never fails to entertain and inspire. This Brooklyn, NY based composer, performer and producer fights and tames the idiosyncrasies of the pencilina, an original instrument of his own design and construction. The pencilina is an electric ten stringed collision of the hammer dulcimer, slide guitar, koto and fretless bass with six pickups of varied types. It is struck with sticks, plucked and bowed, giving Reed an incredibly wide sonic palette.
