A presentation by Professor Martin Scherzinger at the A4 Arts Foundation.
Prof. Martin Scherzinger is a composer and Associate Professor of Media Studies at New York University. He works on sound, music, media and the politics of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, with a particular focus on the music of Europe, Africa, and Americas, as well as global biographies of sound and other ephemera circulating in geographically-remote regions. His research includes an examination of the links between political economy and digital sound technologies, poetics of copyright law in diverse sociotechnical environments, relations between aesthetics and censorship, sensory limits of mass-mediated music, mathematical geometries of musical time, histories of sound in philosophy, and the politics of bio-technification.
