Graham Reynolds. A composer, bandleader, pianist and drummer who works constantly in theater, dance, film, concert halls, and nightclubs – Reynolds entered the international stage in 2006 when he was selected by Richard Linklater to compose the motion picture soundtrack to the animated sci-fi feature film, “A Scanner Darkly.” His other compositions include four symphonies, two operas, a violin concerto, more than a dozen one movement string quartets and countless chamber music pieces.

Graham Reynolds’ film scores include five feature films, dozens of short films, animated shorts, and more than 20 silent films. Film collaborators have included Richard Linklater, Steve Collins and Luke Savisky. Performance highlights include a live appearance on NPR’s Talk of the Nation and a night at the Kennedy Center. The eclectic nature of the band has led to double bills ranging from Ken Vandermark to The Sea and the Cake to Merle Haggard guitarist Redd Volkeart. Compositions by Graham Reynolds Include four symphonies, two operas, a violin concerto, more than a dozen one movement string quartets, and countless chamber music pieces. Theater collaborations range from recorded incidental music to fully scored musicals with live accompaniment on more than a dozen productions. Awards include the Frederick Lowe Music Theater Award, Austin Critics’ Table, and B. Iden Payne. Graham is the resident composer with Salvage Vanguard Theater and a company member with the Rude Mechs. Dance collaborators have included choreographers Yakov Sharir, Ellen Bartel, and Andrea Ariel.

Golden Arm Trio is a loose collective of which Reynolds is the only permanent member with some outstanding musicians as regularly featured additions. The band has toured throughout the United States and Europe and has released three critically acclaimed CDs. RollingStone.com described the band as an Austin, Texas-based power-jazz merger of John Zorn's Naked City and the 1970s radical-prog band Henry Cow…. Reynolds – like Zorn, without the heavy weather – freely charges into other realms as a composer-performer: string quartets, symphonies, soundtracks, improvised super-rock…, crossbreeding classical futurism and punk esprit.”
