Will Connor
Connor is a percussionist and ethnomusicologist, currently researching the history, development, and implimentation of Lovecraftian Futurist Music composition and performance, in which the aesthetics and composition methods put forth by Italian Futurist Luigi Russolo are employed to evoke the characters, settings, narratives, and emotions found within Lovecraftian Horror Mythos Fiction. The research will draw from Connor's previous work that focuses on the ways in which musical instruments and their construction interact dialectically with the culture, society, and historical events associated with the musical communities in which they are played and built to inform a
synergetic research project that will yield both academic literary output
and creative performative works. This Lovecraftian Futurist Music project
involves, in part, Gothic Literature Studies, Gender Studies, Cognative Science, Identity and Nostalgia Politics, and Experimental Music
Composition and Performance. Connor currently lives and works between Portland, Oregon, USA and High Wycombe, England, UK.
Address: Portland, OR and London, England, UK
