About

Hi, I’m Michael Reed of The Plains, Virginia.

We do lighting, shades, music and video for homes and farms around Northern Virginia, set up so it all works together and is simple to use. It started a long time ago, with my dad.

I was 12 when my dad, Dick Reed, and I built a pair of stereo speakers from scratch at our house in Friendship Heights, D.C. They played music for our family for years, and they’re where all of this started.

I grew up in D.C., went to Gonzaga, then UC Santa Cruz, and stayed in Los Angeles working on films as a production coordinator. That’s where I learned audio and video properly. After 9/11 I came home to Washington, and in 2006 I started Wired Up Home Theater. Today it’s Metamorphosis Environments.

I came out to Middleburg in 2010 to visit friends, fell for the place and never left. I work out of Windcrest Farm in The Plains. You may have heard our work at Hunter’s Head Tavern, Common Grounds or the Middleburg Tennis Club, or at a farm in Paris with 52 speakers inside and out.

I like pitching in around town too: the sound for the Middleburg Christmas parade, and charging stations for the riders at the Upperville Colt & Horse Show. From design to installation to support, it’s the same crew. When you call, you get me.
