Matt Rahaim is Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology and co-advisor of the Music and Sound Studies (MSS) group at the University of Minnesota, where he teaches courses on sonic ecology, practices of listening, ethnographic method, political performance, Hindustani music, and voice studies. His first book, Musicking Bodies: Gesture and Voice in Hindustani Music (Wesleyan University Press, 2012) deals with the inculcation and transmission of bodily disciplines among Hindustani musicians; his forthcoming book project (Wesleyan University Press), Ways of the Voice: Vocal Striving and Moral Contestation in North India and Beyond, addresses cultivated practices of listening, public moral contestation, and ethical striving among a wide range of classical, popular, and devotional singers in North India and beyond. Recent essays include “Object, Person, Machine, or What: Practical Ontologies of Voice,” “Otherwise than Participation: Unity and Alterity in Musical Encounters,” and “Not Just One, Not Just Now: Voices in Relation.” His essays and articles have appeared in the Oxford Handbook of Voice Studies, Theory for Ethnomusicology, Journal of Asian Studies, World of Music, Asian Music, and Gesture. Rahaim also is a performing Hindustani vocalist (Gwalior gayaki) and has long been involved in experimental composition and performance; he recently performed in Molly Sturges’ five-nightlong ritual performance Waking the Oracle at George Washington University.
