We are delighted to welcome Dr. Abby Aresty as a Post-Doctoral scholar to the Acoustic Ecology Lab @ ASU. Abby is a composer and sound artist who uses technology to facilitate unexpected interactions between people, the built environment, and the natural world. Aresty’s work is rooted in the fields of acoustic ecology, sound art, and electroacoustic composition, and has included concert works, public sound installations, soundwalks, pop-up galleries, multimedia collaborations, biofeedback interfaces, and sound sculptures, including prosthetic listening devices.
Abby received her Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Washington in 2012. From 2013-2014, she was a Fellow at the Studio for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University, and from 2014-2016, she held the Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Electronic Music and Sound Studies at Grinnell College.
We will be launching the new Acoustic Ecology Lab site very soon and you can expect to hear a lot more from Abby over the coming months.
