An accomplished high-tech engineer, and multi-instrumentalist, his musical career has been built upon chance encounters. Reaves now considers fate his friend. Reaves, whose third solo album, "Sea of Glass" rode high upon the new age record charts, began recording albums of soothing, ambient instrumentals because a top Nashville producer, Tony Brown, accidentally overheard him doodling late at night in a recording studio in the mid-1980s. Brown invited Reaves to record synthesized instrumentals for the MCA Master Series. The resulting albums gained some recognition among space music fans ("Wunjo" is considered a top electronic album of all time by Electronic Musicican magazine) but received little record company support or distribution. In 1993, Steven Hill, producer of the nationally syndicated "Hearts of Space" radio program, contacted Reaves. Hill said he still received mail from fans of his show who were seeking a copy of "Wunjo". Since his record deal with MCA had expired, Reaves had a new album of material that interested Hill, and the resulting CD, "Sea of Glass", released on the Hearts of Space label has been his most successful to date, spending four months ranked among the most popular discs on the new age charts. Reaves has yet another guise, one that has nothing to do with space music. He has become a leading engineer and co-producer on the Nashville rock scene, working with such hard-hitting grunge rockers as Dessau and the Grinning Plowmen and collaborating on projects with melodic rockers Bedlam, Tom Littlefield, Bill Lloyd, Lisa Germano, Jaime Kyle, Lounge Flounders, and Afrikan Dreamland. Reaves was an original core member of the Space for Music team and has worked with Kirby Shelstad, another core member, on live performances and recordings. He also appears on Lektronic Soundscapes' "Blue Western Sky" by Tony Gerber. He is currently working on another solo release on the Hearts of Space label. He also experiments with 3D renderings and has had several images used on CD cover artwork. Watch for more incredible music from this talented multi-instrumentalist.
