Academic interests
My work explores the creative process, the practice, and the performance of electronic music from a musicological perspective. I am particularly interested in the way music and sound technologies reconfigure music making by blending material resources and mediums, which result in aesthetic boundary shifts. My research is based on qualitative methods (direct observations in various musical settings, from the studio to the stage; interviews; digital data collection and analysis).
My Groove design in Bass music project looks into the black box of electronic music production. It investigates Bass music producers' approach to rhythm and groove design, at the intersection of popular music studies, music technology and music cognition.
