Melanyan ''Pyepi'' Reynolds currently lives in Dulwich, London. Lived in Dortmund, Germany for a few years when he went over to live with a girlfriend. He has played the flute for many years and talked about the different musical projects he had worked on and the difficulty in doing that because people are very commercially minded when it comes to music - he referred to as the DJ culture. Lived in the 80s and told and how the music scene was vibrant when he lived there, with people producing their own music. Went over to New York a few years ago - his parents lives there as do his sisters. Also talked about how competitive the open mic scene was. On the plinth he will be playing some music.
