I am Associate Professor of Musicology and editor of the academic section of the online journal Seismograf.

I received my PhD from the University of Copenhagen in 2010. My dissertation was a study of the establishment of the Swedish electronic music studio EMS (Kehrer, 2014). Since then, my research has addressed historiographical, aesthetic, political, and institutional issues in art music, electronic music, and sound art over the past 75 years. My most recent research project funded by VR, Java-Futurism, explores noise and experimental music in Java. The project is a collaboration with anthropologist Nils Bubandt from Aarhus University (AU). The aesthetic-anthropological method we have developed is being further developed in the project Aesthetics of Extinction, supported by AU’s research foundation.

I am currently working on two book projects: Audio Papers, with Stefan Östersjö (LTU), to be published by Bloomsbury, and another book on Java-Futurism with Nils.
