I am an 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, The Halluci Nation, 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.
