REEVES'  DOCTORAL THESIS:  The Vision Music of Casanova

 His classical compositions have been performed by a number of virtuosi-- his Etude in C minor for solo piano was debuted by world-class Hungarian pianist Yaroslav Senyshyn at the University of Toronto.  In 1997, with the help of his librettist/partner, Lina Medaglia-Miller, he completed "Casanova," a three-hour, fully- orchestrated Broadway musical.

His mentors have included such luminaries as Healey Willan, Giles Bryant, and Eric Lewis. Not merely an academic musician, Reeves spent seven years as a working musician 'on the road.' He was bassist for 'The Heat,'  a band that won the Q107 Homegrown radio contest in 1981.  Reeves served as bandleader of over a dozen different groups.      

 

A skilled computer user, audio engineer, and producer of music, Reeves spent 5 years working with high profile clients like Shania Twain and EMI Music as manager and chief-engineer of Studio 55, one of Toronto's most frequented MIDI and pro-audio studios in the late 80s.   He has created over 200 compositions, including 4 fully-orchestrated symphonic works.   In 2004, he completed a CD of 18 C&W songs, called "Bald Eagle," composed by Reeves and his partner, Lina.   

Lina and Reeves most recent musical work was an album of political/protest rock songs, "Dreamland and other Conspiracies," released at Christmas of 2007.  

In October 2009, RE-VO released "XII," the band's second album. This time, the album's genre is progressive rock.n
