Faculty Member, Faculty of Media, Arts and Society
Senior Lecturer - Popular Music
About
I have taught full-time in the areas of popular music studies, music technology and media and cultural studies since 1991. I have been involved in electronic music making since the mid-1980s - most notably with industrial-electro-EBM band WMTID, with album and single releases on Rouska Records, Concrete Productions, D.O.R. and Released Emotions.
I am currently producing music under the artist name obe:lus, and recently completed work on an edited book collection on Kraftwerk for Continuum with David Pattie of the University of Chester. I have also recently contributed entries on Dubstep, Electronic Dance Music (EDM), Electronica, EBM, Hi-NRG and Chillout to the the international genres volume of Continuum's Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World.
I have also written journal articles and book chapters on krautrock, techno, punk and post-punk, French electronica, synthpop, Kraftwerk and German national identity, PiL and John Lydon, and Madonna.
