Reynolds was educated in music and science at the University of Michigan. His compositions incorporate elements of theater, digital signal processing, dance, video, and real-time computer spatialization, in a signature multidimensionality of engagement. The central thread woven through Reynolds' uniquely varied career entwines language with the spatial aspects of music.
This center first emerged in his notorious music-theater work, The Emperor of Ice Cream (1961-62; 8 singers, 3 instrumentalists; text: Wallace Stevens), and is carried forward in the VOICESPACE series (quadraphonic tape compositions on texts by Coleridge, Beckett, Borges and others), Odyssey (an unstaged opera for 2 singers, 2 recitants, large ensemble, multichannel computer sound; bilingual text: Beckett), and JUSTICE (1999; soprano, actress, percussionist, computer sound and real-time spatialization, with staging; text: Aeschylus).
In addition to his composing, Reynolds' writing, lecturing, organization of musical events and teaching have prompted numerous residencies at international festivals.
He was a co-director of the New York Philharmonic's Horizons '84, has been a frequent participant in the Warsaw Autumn festivals, and was commissioned by Toru Takemitsu to create a program for the Suntory Hall International Series. Reynolds' regular masterclass activity in American universities also extends outward: to the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Ircam in Paris, to Latin America and Asia, to Thessaloniki. His extensive orchestral catalog includes commissions from the Philadelphia, Los Angeles and BBC Orchestras.
Roger Reynolds was one of the first composers that explored the world of electronic music, and it's pretty sure he was close to the sonic experiments of Vladmir Ussachevsky, Otto Luening, Henry Jacobs, Lejaren Hiller and of course the various experimentations of Henk Badings, Tom Dissevelt, Tod Dockstader, Herbert Eimert, Gottfried Michael Koenig, also the musique concrete school of Pierre Henry, Pierre Schaeffer.
It seems that although today the work of Reynolds is pretty uknown, he was appreciated and influenced vastly a big number mainly of american composers, such as Udo Kasemets, Charles Amirkhanian and of course Jon Appleton, Ruth Anderson, Ilhan Mimaroglu, Larry Austin, while also he could have influenced Jerry Hunt, Bulent Arel, Daria Semengen, Glenn Branca, Bruce Haack, Phil Niblock and why not Joseph Celli, Joel Chadabe, Charlemagne Palestine, Noah Creshevsky, Charles Dodge, David Cope and Dub Taylor.
