My research sits between popular music studies and digital culture studies. It is centered around popular music production’s shift to the programming paradigms of electronic music including hip-hop, and how this is increasingly hosted by the interface-based, algorithmic and networked logic of contemporary computer culture.

I work with the algorithmic structures of signal processing, AI, network culture and cloud-based compositions and ask questions concerning the ontology of the musical work, compositional agency, expressivity and the novel ways music is listened to in streaming culture.

This also involves changes in musical form, rhythm, spatiality and the (new) materiality of contemporary popular music. 

I teach digital culture studies just as I teach anything from the earliest forms of music to K-pop.
