Dear all,
The New York University Department of Music and Performing Arts Professions is now accepting applications for 5-year, fully funded Ph.D. fellowships in Music Technology. The degree program offers a flexible, cross-disciplinary course of study that encompasses all areas of music, sound, and technology including computer music, global electronic music, immersive audio, music perception, sound/music computing and data science, as well as technologies for music accessibility, interaction, education, creation, and production. Application deadline for next fall is December 1, 2021.
This admissions cycle, we are particularly interested in applicants who can contribute to Professor Leila Adu-Gilmore's Critical Sonic Practice Lab. The Critical Sonic Practice Lab investigates and demonstrates music-making as a continuing decolonizing discourse, centering on musics (and texts about these musics) by marginalized music-makers.
In 2020, Dr. Adu-Gilmore launched the Critical Sonic Practice Lab intersecting marginalized musics and socially engaged research through music technology. Responding to a summer of protesting police brutality and COVID-19’s impact, especially on marginalized peoples, Critical Sonic Practice Symposium morphed from a closed think-tank into a public virtual multimedia streaming music event “Elegy,” and symposium talks followed by a disabled access virtual dance music afterparty. “Elegy” livestream featured films and music by marginalized music creators from around the world followed by post-notes from Fred Moten. The symposium talks centered on the theme’s impacts on marginalized music makers through panel speakers in the arts, music industry and academia. Critical Sonic Practice lab also has ongoing music analysis and research design projects in New York and Accra. Therefore, the Critical Sonic Practice Lab creates and researches music in diverse electronic media forms, as well as socially engaging, collaborating and disseminating this research through NYU events, public events and published research on marginalized music.
