Orson Abram (b. 2002) is a multimedia artist who blurs the lines between composer, percussionist, improviser, filmmaker, performer, and sound artist. Originally from Columbus, Ohio, they graduated from Oberlin Conservatory and College in 2025, where they studied TIMARA (Technology in Music and Related Arts), English, Percussion Performance, Cinema and Media. Their work often deals with theoreticals in relation to the personal; they work across the intersections of video, performance, installation, and music composition to explore the translation from personal to universal memory, the ethics of performance, and transgression in traditionally conservative spaces. Their work aims to provoke and cross the lines of what music composition and performance is designed to be. They are currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Music Composition with a teaching assistantship in Music Technology at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. Orson’s work has been featured at various music/film festivals and conferences as well as several film festivals both in the US and abroad.
