Raphael Reed Email & Phone Number

To watch, listen or read my full portfolio go to : www.raphaelreed.comRaphaël Reed is a musician of contradiction; trained in classical music, but with a degree in contemporary creation. A figure of the Montreal underground scene, but a composer for Hollywood productions. Innovative, but aware of the past. It is paradoxically through all these contradictions that the artist finds his balance. His hybrid vision of creation has led him to carve out a place for himself in multidisciplinary spaces where music rubs shoulders with other art forms, such as live performance and film. In film and television, Raphael’s experience extends from drama to action to comedy, which has demanded a versatile approach to his work both in orchestral and electronic music. His compositions include the soundtrack of the blockbuster Crisis (2021 SOCAN film music award) from Director Nicholas Jarecki, starring Gary Oldman and Evangeline Lilly. Cliff Martinez being an advisor for the creation of the soundtrack, this experience has been a milestone in Raphael's career and a consolidation of his music personality. His other music scores include, amongst others, Les bracelets rouges (2022) Sam (2021) The Walrus and the WhistleBlower (2020), Louise Lecavalier: In Motion (2018), Révolution-TVA (2018), and 1:54 (2016).In largescale events, he worked for Cirque du soleil, created and arranged the music for the show Vizion (2023). He co-composed the opening soundtrack for the 2014 UEFA Champions League final held in Portugal. He also directed and composed the Chimelong International Circus in China (2017) as well as the Cité de l’énergie in Shawinigan, Quebec (2018), and music for The Carnaval de Québec (2019). For Cité mémoire, he composed the music for two events celebrating John Lennon's bed-in at The Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal: a virtual reality interactive exhibition taking place in the bedroom (suite 1742) and a video playing in the Agora of the hotel directed by Michel Lemieux and Michel Marc Bouchard. His music has been heard in hundreds of advertisements, most notably the Skechers ad presented at the Super Bowl (2012) and the international publicity campaign for Dove Legacy (2015).
