Reed is the founder and President of GLOBOP, INC. (multi-media, multi-cultural live entertainment production company, est. 2002, www.globopinc.com) created to promote globo-cultural creativity as social counter-balance to certain “flattening” effects of world market economics.

Works in progress for Reed include: EARTHRISE co-operative awareness festival event in Nigeria and Republic of Togo, a “star-crossed” glob-operatic tragedy focusing on the impact of zealous militancy in North Africa tentatively entitled CARTHAGE, and a “real” television situation comedy about a struggling East Side comic and his “aspiring” friends called MY OWN TWO FEET.

UPDATE: Limited release of new Steven Company record SMOVE TCHEFUNCTE FUNC is now scheduled for early September 2005. A first solo project for Reed, album features a different permutation of musicians on every track playing all original globop compositions as exotic as they are unique.
