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 1991. He has participated in many collaborations, and groups, most notably Drone Forest (external link). Other projects include Luster and Crook'd Finger.

       He was active 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 reviews and conducted interviews for the now defunct magazines AUTOreverse and Mouthy.

       Other than musical pursuits, he enjoys cats, mushrooming, cigars, sculpture, politics, ethics and writing about himself in third person for his website. Add him on MySpace. Read his Blog. Add him to your Last.FM library, follow him at Twitter @vuzhmusic.
