Project #2: Dangerous Road

Composer Bio Dan Conroy (b. 1985) is a student at The University of Nevada Reno. He is working on his Bachelor of Arts in Advertising through the Reynolds School of Journalism while also pursuing a minor in Digital Media through the Church School of Fine Arts. Through the Digital Media program he was able to take an electronic music composition class with Jean-Paul Perrotte in conjunction with his Digital Media studies and began composing music as a result of the class. He will graduate from UNR in May, 2012 and hopes to follow his studies into a career. Program Notes Dangerous Road is an audiovisual journey inspired by driving on unknown, dark, snowy roads, never knowing what will appear around the next corner. The song, comprised of concrete sounds and sounds created in the studio, brings the listener into the vehicle and keeps them on the edge of their seat. Surprises jump out from the speakers and the screen and into the eyes and ears of the listener with the intent of leaving them both scared and alert, just as one must be when driving down a new Dangerous Road.
