Victor Szabo is Elliott Assistant Professor of Music at Hampden-Sydney College. His work broadly addresses the socioaesthetics of 20th and 21st century popular and electronic music, with special focus on queer and countercultural topics, as well as on the cultural politics of taste, emotion, and mood. He is also a DJ, film buff, and cocktail enthusiast.
With flair and acumen. Victor Szabo delves deep into the aesthetics, phenomenology, and politics of ambient music. The result is a comprehensive and fascinating study of a musical genre that's been hailed as ignorable yet interesting. * Rita Felski, author of Hooked: Art and Attachment *
