TODD RUNDGREN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBorn and raised in Philadelphia, Rundgren began playing guitar as a teenager, going on to found and front The Nazz, the quintessential `60’s psychedelic group. In 1969, he left the band to pursue a solo career, recording his debut offering, the legendary Runt<\/em>. But it was 1972’s seminal Something\/Anything<\/em>?, on which he played all the instruments, sang all the vocal parts, and acted as his own producer, that catapulted Todd into the superstar limelight, prompting the press to unanimously dub him ‘Rock’s New Wunderkind’. It was followed by such landmark LPs as The Hermit of Mink Hollow<\/em> and the above mentioned A Wizard, A True Star<\/em>, as well as such hit singles as I Saw The Light, Hello It’s Me, Can We Still Be Friends,<\/em> and Bang The Drum<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn 1974, Todd formed Todd Rundgren\u2019s Utopia (renamed and reconfigured in 1976 as Utopia), an entirely new approach to the concept of interactive musicianship, and embarked on an extensive round of touring and recording. Standout Utopia offerings included Oops! Wrong Planet, Adventures in Utopia<\/em>, and Oblivion<\/em>. Along the way, Todd Rundgren\u2019s Utopia combined technical virtuosity and creative passion to create music that initially, for millions, defined the term “progressive rock\u201d, and subsequently, as Utopia, the term \u201cpowerpop\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRundgren’s myriad production projects include albums by Patti Smith, Cheap Trick, Psychedelic Furs, Meat Loaf, XTC, Grand Funk Railroad, and Hall And Oates. Rounding out his reputation as rock’s Renaissance Man, Rundgren composed all the music and lyrics for Joe Papp’s 1989 Off-Broadway production of Joe Orton’s Up Against It<\/em> (the screenplay commissioned by The Beatles for what was meant to have been their third motion picture). He also has composed the music for the hit film Dumb and Dumber<\/em>, as well as a number of television series, including Pee Wee\u2019s Playhouse<\/em> and Crime Story<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn 2009 Rundgren performed his iconic 1973 album A Wizard A True Star<\/em> in concert in its entirety for the first time ever, and several years later did the same with a double bill: Todd & Healing<\/em>. He has toured with Ringo Starr as an erstwhile member of the All-Starr Band since 1989, and continues to perform with symphony orchestras both domestically and internationally. In 2018 he toured North America with original Utopians Kasim Sulton and Willie Wilcox for the first time in 33 years. After the release of his long-awaited autobiography The Individualist<\/em>, he spearheaded the world\u2019s first hybrid concert\/book tour highlighting music across his 50-plus-year career.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn 2017 on successive weekends he was awarded honorary doctorates from both the Berklee School of Music and DePauw University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1998 Todd debuted his new PatroNet technology which for the first time allowed fans of a musical artist to subscribe directly to the artist\u2019s musical output via the Internet. This caps a long history of groundbreaking early multimedia “firsts”, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20221978: The first interactive television concert, broadcast live over the Warner\/QUBE system in Columbus, Ohio (the home audience chose each song in real time during the concert by voting via QUBE\u2019s 2-way operating system).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20221978: The first live nationally broadcast stereo radio rock concert (by microwave), linking 40 cities around the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20221979: The opening of Utopia Video Studios, a multi-million dollar state-of-the-art facility. The first project produced by Todd there is Gustav Holst\u2019s The Planets<\/em>, commissioned by RCA Selecta Vision as the first demonstration software for their new videodisc format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u20221980: Creation of the first color graphics tablet, which was licensed to Apple and commercially released as The Utopia Graphics Tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20221981: Time Heals<\/em>, the first music video to utilize state-of-the-art compositing of live action and computer graphics (produced and directed by Todd), becomes the eighth video to be played during the launch of MTV on August 1, 1981.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u20221982: The first live national cablecast of a rock concert (on the USA Network), simulcast in stereo to over 120 radio stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20221982: The first two commercially released music videos, one of which was nominated for the first-ever Grammy awarded for \u201cBest Short Form Video\u201d in 1983.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20221992: The first commercially available music downloads via CompuServe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20221993: The release of \u201cNo World Order\u201d, the world\u2019s first interactive record album on CD-i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20221994: The release of \u201cThe Individualist\u201d, the world\u2019s first full-length Enhanced CD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20221994: The world\u2019s first interactive concert tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20221998: Launches PatroNet, the world\u2019s first direct artist subscription service — predicts that someday “music will be sold by the pound”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20222016: The production of the world’s first full length concert shot with multiple Virtual Reality 360\u00ba cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u20222021: Spearheaded the \u201cClearly Human\u201d virtual concert tour, featuring 25 live-streamed performances geo-fenced and tailored to a different US city each night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
