J. Martin Daughtry

J. Martin Daughtry (jmd19@nyu.edu) is an associate professor of music and sound studies at New York University and the faculty director of the Core Curriculum for the NYU College of Arts & Science. His writing and teaching deal with acoustic violence; more-than-human vocality; the auditory imagination; the dynamics of listening and “inaudition” (or “non-listening”); the end of the world; air; and jazz. He is a founding member of the Analogue Humanities Archive and Symposium (AHAS), an enigmatic organization that, by design, has no internet footprint. His first monograph Listening to War: Sound, Music, Trauma, and Survival in Wartime Iraq (Oxford, 2015) received a PROSE Award from the Association of American Publishers and the Alan Merriam Prize from the Society for Ethnomusicology. His current monograph-in-progress is titled Panvocalism: Atmospheric Transcripts from the End of the World.
