Yes, thanks, I do in fact see the irony of trying to write at 11 p.m. on a Friday night and citing Jonathan Crary's '24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep'. 🤦‍♀️

📢Judy Lochhead, @PeteEdwa and I just signed a contract with @EdinburghUP for our edited collection 'The Music of Absence: An Aesthetics of Loss in the New Millennium'. The book traces absence as a key theme in 21st-century music + highlights the philosophical potential of sound.

I was working on a conference presentation on music in a time of heightened uncertainty this afternoon and had this meme up on my screen when HR and HoD walked into my office, whoops

Academic hivemind, what's your recommendations for philosophical/theoretical reading on marginalia, footnotes, exegesis and the likes? #academictwitter

First day back on campus today and dressed all in black because I’ve returned equal parts corporate goth, contemporary art stereotype, mournful over my mat leave having ended, and a mum who’s learnt black is less prone to staining 🤓

I just got an out-of-office reply that said 'if this is an emergency, please contact 911' and I am so here for it

A little over a year ago, I had 2 babies. One had 10 little fingers and 10 little toes, the other just under 200 pages. As the arrival of the one (👶) eclipsed that of the other (📘) and my mat leave is now ending, I wanted to share some fun memories from the writing process.🧵

In 2017, I spent some days in Lang's studio in Vienna. When I asked if we could have a look at the software he wrote and uses to compose most of his music, it took him several hours just to get the program running. He casually noted that composing was very time-consuming.⌛️(5/6)

When I told Lang I would be analysing his ‘Monadologie IX’ as part of my PhD project, he shook his head in deep concern and, after a few moments of silence, quietly said: “My god. Poor you.” 😟 You can read the full analysis here ➡️tinyurl.com/m3njcv9p ⬅️ (6/6)

Again, not exactly the type of aesthetics I'd be good at
Not me who just read through a whole job advertisement for 'lecturer in aesthetics' thinking I should apply just to find out at the end that they were talking about a whole different type of aesthetics 💄💇‍♀️💅
