Lindsey Eckenroth is a musicologist and flutist. She works as Data Coordinator at RILM, plays flute in the new music ensemble The Curiosity Cabinet, and has taught in music and American Studies at Brooklyn College, CUNY as well as in the Contemporary Music program at The New School. This past year she defended her dissertation, titled “Listen Like This: Audiovisual Argument in Rockumentary”; published an article on the Detroit-based proto-punk band the MC5; curated a series of themed, annotated playlists for the magazine Don’t Take Pictures; presented at the annual meetings of AMS and IASPM-US; and wrote a forthcoming article on Lydia Lunch. She likes thinking and writing about film music and sound, popular music documentaries, psychogeography, rock stardom and the celebrity “trainwreck,” the many things “the voice” can mean, and creative work under late capitalism.
