  and Performance (Spring 2012)

  featuring an interdisciplinary group of scholars writing about the sounds of music in society. His published work has appeared in publications such as the Journal of the American Musicological Society

  the Grove Dictionary of American Music

  and on Oxford University Press's online music blog. Matthew also curates and contracts a variety of performances featuring some of the most dynamic musicians (of color

  in particular).\n\nMatthew's current project

  \"Blacksound: Making Race and American Popular Music

  \" considers the implications of positing sound as a major component in both individual and societal identity constructions -- specifically racial formation. Matthew seeks to unpack the ways in which the racialization of sound is central to how humans have come to imagine themselves and other(s). \n\nMatthew is an Assistant Professor at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music.
