Sublamp is Los Angeles based composer, sound designer, and audio engineer Ryan Connor. Using mainly electric guitar as a source material, which is further processed through various digital and analog methods, Connor constructs dense textural compositions as a means to explore a lifelong fascination with the interchange between time and space in the perception of sound, and the intuitive emotional reactions it invokes.

Since 2005, Connor has been published on labels such as Eilean (FR), Hibernate (UK), and Dragon’s Eye Recordings (US), and has performed at the PNCA, LACMA, the Torrance Museum of Art, the Pacific Design Center and various DIY venues and galleries along the west coast.

Connor was born in New Mexico and lived briefly in Utah before relocating to Boulder Colorado, where his father worked as a natural resources specialist for the National Park Service and his mother as an environmental chemist for the USGS, and then permanently settled in Los Angeles after graduating from the California Institute of the Arts film and video program.

Connor is an audio engineer at Earwolf (recording and editing podcasts like Comedy Bang Bang, Spontaneanation, Hollywood Handbook, Homophillia…) and also creates music and sound design for the immersive theatrical experience and self guided audio experience ALONE: An Existential Evocation.
