About the Artist

Conner Simmons is a double bassist, composer, and computer musician from Denton, Texas, living in NYC. Described by composer and vocalist Annika Socolofsky as “the perfect blend of soup and stew,” their music sifts through quiet sounds and fragile textures to conjure sparse, atmospheric, improvisational chamber music. Performance engagements of theirs include seasons with the Shreveport Symphony, the NY debut of Chris Cerrone’s opera In a Grove, where they performed live electronics with Metropolis Ensemble, and a run of shows as principal bassist for the Martha Graham Dance Company production of Rite of Spring. Recordings of their playing can be heard on Texas-based experimental music labels Sawyer Editions and Full Spectrum and on the world premiere recording of Julius Eastman’s Symphony No. 2 (forthcoming).
