Johnny Reinhard (born 1956) is a microtonal composer, bassoonist, author and conductor.
Reinhard employs many avant-garde techniques in his bassoon performance such as glissando and multiphonics, as well as uses just intonation and other microtonal tuning systems. Notable compositions by Reinhard include "Dune" (1990), "Cosmic rays" (1995), "Middle-Earth" (1999), "Talibanned Buddhas" (2000), and "Semantics of tone" (2007).[1][2] He reconstructed and performed Charles Ives' Universe symphony in 1996.[3][4] The European premiere of this work was to be performed in Cologne in May 2020.[5]
In 2024, Johnny's book "The Ives Universe - A Symphonic Odyssey" came out on CE Books (Composer's Edition).
