Composer

He/Him

Will Davenport is an internationally performed, American midwest-based composer currently working towards his master’s at Florida State University under Dr. Liliya Ugay. He recently graduated from Ohio University where he studied under Dr. Robert W. McClure and Dr. Mark Phillips. Davenport’s music mixes aesthetics from the past with modern techniques in new and unique ways in order to communicate the strangeness of currently being alive. With each piece, Davenport ventures into personally unexplored territories and thrives to collaborate with other composers and musicians as much as possible; creating with other people drives his passion for making.
