About
I’m an Associate Professor at Columbia University. My research focuses on the emergence of musical meaning in contemporary art music, the development and cognitive bases of musical experience, and the phenomenology of bodily interactions in musical behavior. My monograph, titled Enacting Musical Time (available now through Oxford University Press), examines how listeners’ understanding and experience of musical time are shaped by bodily actions and gestures.
