Curating, preserving, and providing access to audio/video/film collections @ the University of Washington Libraries in Seattle.

About

As Ethnomusicology Curator I'm responsible for preserving and curating access to the Ethnomusicology Archives, which includes international, national and regional/local music recordings, such as the Seattle Sounds Archiving and Preservation Project (SSAPP).
As Head of Media I help reformat and provide access to a variety of audio/video/film collections, including the Milo Ryan Phonoarchive and vintage 16mm films. I also oversee UW Libraries’ AV makerspace--Media Arcade--and Media Archiving & Digitization (MAD) Lab.
As an affiliate professor I teach courses on remix studies, music of Seattle, cinematic sound, the music of Spain, etc.
