About me

Occupation	Music Student
Location	Philadelphia/Durham, PA/NC
Introduction	I graduated from Duke University with a music composition major. This blog is where I feature my academic analysis of rap, as well as my own musical works. I am available as a composer by commission, as well as a freelance blogpost writer, having recently been featured on the Warbeats website and the Malignant Brain Humor podcast, links to which you can find here. Finally, I have started offering to teach aspiring rappers and producers how to become better at their trades. You can email me at martinedwardconnor@gmail.com to find out more. I started this blog as a way to connect with family and friends through music by showing them what exactly it is that I do as someone who works in music academically. It’s hard sometimes to discuss composition because it's such an individual endeavor, and few people have experience with it or can discuss it articulately. I started this blog because I want you to experience and share in what I feel so passionately about, what I love: music. It is my hope that the articles and videos I post here will make you want to ask questions of "why?" and "how?" So if you have ANY questions, comments, ideas, etc., don't hesitate to email me.
