About
I teach ethnomusicology at the University of Maryland, College Park. Besides my research into Turkish contemporary music making (particularly, the music industry centered in Istanbul, and the production of traditional/folk/art musics in the recording studio context), I have also published papers on aesthetic issues in contemporary electronic music movements. With Graham St. John, I created http://www.dancecult.net – a comprehensive collaborative bibliography and web resource of research into electronic dance music cultures. In 2009, we're also launching Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture, the world's first peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the research of EDM.
Besides writing and teaching interests, I've been active as a professional 'ud performer and recording artist, and have over a decade of experience with audio engineering, sound design, and electroacoustic music composition.
