Top 100 Multimedia Producers
Todd was named one of the Top 100 Multimedia Producers
by
Multimedia Producer Magazine in the November 1995 issue.
Todd began developing a reputation for being a high-tech performance artist when he performed the first live
concert broadcast by microwave in 1978, and followed it up a year later by producing RCA's first demo for the
videodisc format. Since then, he produced the first interactive audio-only CD-ROM, No World Order, in 1993.
Todd's latest "multimedia album," The Individualist, released last summer, highlights the profound message of
his music: "Change in the world emanates from the inside out - not from the outside in; therefore the highest
calling that one can have is to understand one's self, particularly in relationship to consensus reality," he says.

Something/Anything? was #61 and A Wizard, A True Star was #93 in the
Critics Poll from 1995.
