sublamp is the sound and video work of los angeles based artist ryan connor. a product of the silence of the great empty west, ryan was raised by scientist parents living in and amongst various national parks before settling in the rocky mountains. this early connection with nature and science led to a fascination with the textures of growth and decay, and with the cognitive abilities and instincts of animals. this music is the chaos of nature vs our perception of nature filtered through eyes ears and emotion. tree snow animal fear. cold. instinct. sound color ghost light. this music is about learning to look and listen without words.sound is a description of the difference between moments in time. moments based on the limits of our perception and memory and emotional state. a map sunk in electrochemical memory cells of pulsing air pressure. like a headfull of disneyrides, we live in a deceptive fantasy world of color and sound. our perception of the world outside us is loosley interpreted, an aproximation, and we are ghosts haunting our own looping halls of signs and symbols.
