About
I’m an organist and music theorist, focusing on interactions between music and words: historical discourses on music, musical responses to lyrics, musical effects of sung and spoken language. Recently, I've been studying how lyrics are used to produce and disturb rhythms in pop music traditions, with an eye to similar interactions between rhythm and harmony/melody. Otherwise, I’m fascinated by writing on music (literary and theoretical) in premodern China, and continue to perform on a variety of early and modern keyboard instruments.
