The University of Virginia McIntire Department of Music presents a colloquium by Tara Rodgers on Friday, April 21st, 2017  at 3:30pm in 107 Old Cabell Hall.  This event is free and open to the public.

How do histories of electronic music and sound inform creative and technical approaches to music-making in the present? Using examples from the history of electronic and synthesized sound, this presentation will review critical approaches to the study of electronic music history and discuss the politics of archives and historical narratives.

She has an MFA in Electronic Music & Recording Media (Mills College) and a PhD in Communication Studies (McGill University).
