About Me


I am Reed Burnam and I play music (badly). I run Redirection Records (ca. 2000). I play bass in "The Ron Titter Band" (2005-present). (www.therontitterband.com). I oversee bass duties in "20 Eyes", Austin's newest addition to the nascent "Cover Underground" (www.myspace.com/20eyestexas). I have previously played multiple instruments in "Lightning Over Water", "The Rockenstein Collective", "Kaballah Bomb", and many others.
In addition, I record home-produced albums, mostly solo, with occasional help from sleeplessness and/or my two cats. I am and have been a founding member of the Austin chapter of the Immersion Composition Society (2003), as part of the local "Blacklodge" chapter (www.ICS-hub.org). You can check us out online at (www.myspace.com/blacklodge). I work in a menial hellhole and am currently attending to graduate studies in South Asian religious history at the University of Texas. That's probably about it, really. Write me if you want an album or two, I have some laying around.
