Faculty Profile
Most of my work centers on modern American music, particularly that of the so-called Maverick composers and music for film and television. My book, Harry Partch, Hobo Composer, explores the composer and instrument builder in the 1930s and 1940s. I'm currently working on several projects concerning music for science-fiction television and film, including Firefly and Battlestar Galatica, and am beginning a project on the film music of Philip Glass.
