Presenting at BFE/RMA Conference & Music and Democracy Study Days in Jan. 2022

I’ll be presenting research on participation, political theory, and music technology that I have been working on for the past several years at both the Music and Democracy Study Days: Rethinking Participatory Processes Through Music, and the British Forum for Ethnomusicology and Royal Musical Association Research Students’ Conference in January. The title of the paper is “Dissensus, Refusal and Participatory Music: Negation and Rupture in Crowd in C,” which I have been developing for an invited chapter in a volume on post-politics and the aesthetic imagination. I am really excited for some fruitful talks that develop my thinking on topics that my music is explicitly engaging with.

Awarded ZHdK-AVINA Projektfond for Hyperobject: Intersubject With Yris Apsit and Tillo Spreng

So very thrilled to be working with Yris Apsit and Tillo Spreng this upcoming year on a new multi-media work through a grant we won from ZHdK and the Avina Stiftung! Last fall we got together and produced a really fun and interesting experiment that sought to capture the essence of Helvitiaplatz, a public square here in Switzerland. Through this funding we will be expanding the scope of our experiment, by turning the lens of our artistic process towards a most significant Hyperobject: Anthropogenic Global Warming.
