In 2009, Reid adapted an earlier score for Offleash Area Contemporary Dance Works’ "Predator/Prey" (2004) and set it to the Emmy award-winning PBS television show, "The Brower Youth Awards." Other career highlights include recording the 2007 Grammy-nominated album "Whereas" by jazz legend, Roy Haynes; scoring for Rikshaw Film's "The Listening Project" (2007); mixing the 30th Annual DVD release of “A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keilor” (2005); recording location sound for the Travel Channel’s hit television show “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern” and living as an Artist in Residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts (Canada) from 1996 - 1999. While in Banff, Reid had the privilege of recording the great Edgar Meyer performing a Paganini violin concerto (...flawlessly on the double bass) as well as a release by jazz saxophonist, David Liebman, "Colors" (recorded on a saturday morning with a pair of vintage RCA DX-77 microphones). Reid has taught at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, New York and Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. Currently, Reid runs Waterbury Music + Sound out of his home studio in Minneapolis. As a producer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist, Reid works with a variety of music groups - from classical to jazz to popular; from singer/songwriters to the loudest of loud. He lives with his wife, Amy, and his white cat with one blue eye and one green eye, Paloma.
