just another musicologist...



Motje Wolf studied musicology and dramatics at University of Leipzig (Germany) and Karl-Franzens-University (Graz, Austria) completing her Master's Degree in 2007. Her research focuses on contemporary music as well as on communication theories applied to (electroacoustic) music. Since 2008 she has been studying for a PhD at Music, Technology and Innovation Research Centre and the Institute of Creative Technologies (De Montfort University, Leicester, UK), where she is working on the EARS II project . For her PhD she investigates the hypothesis that appreciation of electroacoustic music can be enhanced for inexperienced listeners (e.g., children) through explanation of the main concepts of this music using an eLearning environment.
Motje is on the organising board of Sound, Sight, Space and Play, Postgraduate Symposium for the Creative Sonic Arts
