[Historyoftheory] New Editors for the History of Music Theory Blog

[Accornero, Giulia]

Dear HoT blog readers,

At the end of last year, Siavash Sabetrohani and I stepped down from our role as editors of the History of Music Theory blog.

I am delighted to announce the new blog editors: hallie voulgaris (PhD candidate, Yale University) and Fred Cruz Nowell (PhD candidate, Cornell University)—bios below.
Be on the lookout, as they will share new HoT blog posts soon.

My best wishes to hallie and Fred!

Giulia

hallie voulgaris is a PhD candidate in Music Theory at Yale University and holds a BS in Mathematics and Music from MIT. hallie’s dissertation project focuses on visual (re)presentations of music theoretical information such as diagrams, tables, and notations in the treatises of 13th century musician and theorist Ṣafī al-Dīn al-Urmawī. Theorizing these inscriptions as multi-sensory intersections of theory and practice, they interrogate the kinds of knowledge of the mind, body, and soul involved in the study of music theory. hallie is also interested in alternative popular music genres such as metal and hyperpop, transhistoricity, medievalisms, and queer listening.

Fred Cruz Nowell is a PhD candidate in Musicology at Cornell University. His dissertation, “On the Art of Spiritual Harmony”: Esoteric Music Theory in Early-20th Century Modern Art, examines how three mystical modern artists, (Hilma af Klint, Vasily Kandinsky, and Marcel Duchamp), integrated occult musical doctrines into their explicitly “esoteric” and religio-philosophical art. Before pursuing doctoral study, Fred was a University Fellow in the department of Art, Theory, and Practice at Northwestern University. He is also active as a curator, contributing to an array of exhibition essays and didactics, including the curatorial texts for Wu Tsang: Anthem (2018) at the Guggenheim Museum and the film program for the 14th Istanbul Biennal: SALTWATER: A Theory of Thought-Forms, among others.
