Lycanthrope -R-
あらゆるタイプのアートに興味を持つライカンスロープ-R-（ラニー・ヒル）は、気づかないうちに複数のことに夢中になっている。音楽や作文や描画や演劇など、いつも何か彼を没頭させるものがある。アメリカ中西部ミシガン州のオークパーク市出身。子供のころからさまざまな合唱団で歌い、タレントショーに出演するのは当たり前のことだった。中学生の時、ピアノを耳から独学で習い、ただ聞くことでメロディー、ハーモニー、和音をすぐ理解することは彼の特技だ。高校でも音楽を演奏し続け、演劇部にも参加。俳優、劇作家、演出家としてユースシアターにも出演。フィクションに憧れ、さまざまなキャラに合うように自分の声を変えることを好む。
もっと挑戦したい思いで、大学では組太鼓グループに入り作曲を担当した。これでも満足せず、さらに自らが設立・監督したコンサート合奏団で演奏会を開いた。ジャンルは多岐にわたっていて日本の曲も含まれていた。増え続ける団員は50人以上になったことも。バリトン、テナー、カウンターテナーとその広域な音域を生かし、時には女声ボーカルの代役まで引き受けた。彼が大学を卒業した今も合奏団は存続している。現在はさまざまな音楽を作曲をし続け、小説も書いている。そしてまたいつ面白い試みがやってきたとしても、彼は準備ができている。

Always a fan of different fine arts, Lycanthrope -R- (Ronnie Hill) frequently finds himself involved in multiple things at once. From music, to writing, to drawing, to acting, he usually has something that he enjoys to keep himself occupied. Hailing from Oak Park, Michigan in Midwestern America, he grew up singing in various choirs and could always be counted on to sign up for a talent show. He taught himself piano by ear during middle school and prides himself on being able to grasp melodies, harmonies, and chords quickly just by listening. He continued performing music throughout high school and also became deeply involved in the school’s drama department. In time, he even ventured out into youth theatre as an actor, writer, and play director. He has always been enamored with fiction of all types, and quite enjoys changing his voice to fit different characters.
Wanting to branch out in college, he joined a taiko group and eventually helped compose various drum pieces. And, not one to rest on his laurels, he founded and directed his own special concert ensemble, performing music across a variety of genres, including many popular songs of Japanese origin. The number of members grew over the years, sometimes reaching over fifty players at one time. With a voice range that spans baritone, tenor, and even countertenor, he could even be counted on to fill in for female vocal parts if the need arose. Even after his graduation, his ensemble continues on to this day. Currently, he continues composing music in addition to working on paintings and a novel series. He is always ready for the next interesting project to cross his path.
