About Conner
Conner Simmons is a composer, double bassist, and media artist from Texas, currently living in NYC. Conner works in various worlds, including experimental performance art, film music, orchestral performance, harsh noise, making weird sounds, etc. They graduated from the University of North Texas in the spring of 2022 with degrees in Composition and Double Bass Performance and are currently pursuing a Master of Music in the Performer-Composer program at The New School.
Conner’s artistic practice is diverse and exists across a variety of media, but generally centers around a focus on the intersection between the personal, the ephemeral, and the uncontrollable, drawing in on moments, objects, places, and people which are close to them and presenting them removed of their context, laid bare in an unassuming way. They are interested in the ways the sonic and visual arts intersect and inform one another, and have worked as a composer in collaboration with film and new media artists in addition to creating their own solo work in audio-visual media.
