Randal Davis was a composer, arts administrator, archivist and historian. After graduating from Reed College in 1977, he worked at Portland Center for the Visual Arts and was co-founder of the influential new music group Concentration City. On his return to Oregon in 2007, he moved to Leland Iron Works, the studios and gardens of artists Lee Kelly and Bonnie Bronson. He managed the estates of the artists, writing monographs about their work and curating exhibitions. Although profoundly deaf, he continued to compose electronic music and support musician friends in their work. Randal passed after a brief illness, and is survived by his partner, Kassandra Kelly, her children, Carter and Lucy Stirling, various pets, chickens, ducks, and of course, rabbits.
