history | electricity | reverse engineering | sound | music | labor
I'm an artist and researcher working on the histories of electricity, sound, music, and industrial labor. Starting Fall 2026, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Université du Québec à Montréal under the supervision of Philippe-Aubert Gauthier. I will also be Synculture Project Librarian at the University of Birmingham's Department of Music, with the project being led by Christopher Haworth. My previous postdocs include a study of the Mark II synthesizer at Columbia University (along with other historical signal processing artifacts there) and a study of Hugh Le Caine's Electronic Sackbut at Ingenium, Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation in Ottawa. My first book, "Modular synthesis, Patching Machines and People" was published by Routledge in 2024 (https://www.routledge.com//9781032113463).
