c. reider



       C. Reider is the label-head of Vuzh Music. He lives in a small white house in the Northern portion of Colorado, in the United States.

He has recorded music since the early nineties, often releasing material in his own name. Earlier recordings from him have been released under the artist names Luster and Crook'd Finger. He has also participated in many collaborations, and groups, most notably Drone Forest (external link).

       He was very involved in the global cassette underground during the nineties, until the internet made trading tapes the more cumbersome option. He was also involved in music journalism, having written many reviews and conducted interviews for the now defunct magazines AUTOreverse and Mouthy.

       Other than musical pursuits, he enjoys cats, mushrooming, cigars, sculpture, agnosticism, ethics and writing about himself in third person for his website. If you'd really like to learn more, check out his public on-line journal.
