Martin Scherzinger works on sound, music, and media politics from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, with a particular focus on music from Europe, Africa, and America, and the global biographies of sound ephemera circulating in geographically remote regions. His research includes an examination of the links between the political economy of digital sound technologies and the poetics of copyright law across diverse sociotechnical environments. He investigates the relations between aesthetics and censorship, the sensory limits of mass-mediated music, mathematical geometries of musical time, and the histories of sound philosophy and politics surrounding biotechnification. Scherzinger is involved in media studies programs that train agile researchers adept at navigating the shifting media landscape, fostering skills to analyze media technology in cultural, social, and global contexts.
