Thadeus Frazier-Reed is a Philadelphia born interactive media designer and composer. He studied music performance at Eastman School of Music and music composition at The University of the Arts and California Institute of the Arts. His work tends to defy the static nature of classical music performance by creating music and images through movement. Thadeus builds instruments and software that explore new interface interaction paradigms. Although the process of his art almost always uses his knowledge of the structure and timing of music, music is not always the medium.
When not working on his own projects, Thadeus supports other performing artists by working as a technical director, audio engineer, sound designer, and interactive media designer. He has designed and built custom media systems for events such as Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights, The Godzilla Encounter at SDCC 2013, and Britney Spears' Las Vegas residency, "Piece Of Me". He was one of the founding members of ArcheDream, a blacklight multimedia dance theater company based in Philadelphia, and 7StarSun, an interactive multimedia performance group in Los Angeles. He was the resident composer/sound designer for Theatre Tribe in North Hollywood, and has also worked on production and post production sound for film, TV and experimental animation. Thadeus was the head audio engineer for Grand Performances for 8 years in downtown Los Angeles, as well as tour manager and audio engineer for several international World Music groups. He is currently the Director of Interactive Design for Thinkwell Group, an experience design company in Los Angeles, CA, and is responsible for starting the Interactive Design department there.
