John Connor(XVIII)
- Art Director
- Soundtrack
Music artist, producer, composer and songwriter. As a teenager made his first recordings incorporating pots, pans and other 'found' items. Following his first conceptual musical project named for Peter Handke's 'Publikumsbeschimpfung' ('Offending the Audience'), Connor joined Dublin-based punk, neo-psychedelic, garage rock ensemble 'The Golden Horde' (1986-1994). Shortly after the demise of The Golden Horde, Connor moved to NYC continuing to write, record and perform live - his own projects as well as collaborations, guest appearances and composing music for film and television.
Beginning about 2001, Connor began to release home 8-track demos as 'messyheads', and continues to release recordings and material, under various pseudonyms, in different styles and genres. Some of these releases have been commissioned for television and film, or are available for purchase.
