I work in the broad field of music perception and cognition and musical acoustics. My specific research interests include musical timbre, the communication of musical expression, the relationships between music and movement, particularly in film, and the musical acoustics and psychoacoustics of tunings of the gamelan.  Current research continues in the psychoacoustics of contextual timbre and in the experimental semiotics of  music in film.   I am faculty director of MCAL (Music Cognition and Acoustics Laboratory) and coordinator for the Ethnomusicology and Systematic Musicology laboratory.
