I am the Cooper-Siegel Associate Professor of Musicology at Carnegie Mellon University. My research focuses on how electronic, physiological, and socio-cultural technologies mediate the creation and consumption of musical practices in both art and popular musics. My first book An Orchestra at My Fingertips: A History of the Canadian Electronic Ensemble has recently been published by McGill-Queen’s University Press. In addition, I research Indigenous creative practices through the lens of settler colonialism, Indigenous sovereignty, and musical hybridity with artists like Tanya Tagaq, A Tribe Called Red, and Cris Derksen. My work has been published in the Journal of Popular Music Studies, Circuits: musiques contemporains, eContact!, The American Indian Culture and Research Journal, TEMPO, MUSICultures, and Intersections: Canadian Journal of Music, as well as chapters in The Bloomsbury Handbook of Music Production and Popular Music and the Politics of Hope: Queer and Feminist Interventions.
