Ear Wave Event is a journal / zine / web publication co-edited with Bill Dietz (co-chair Music/Sound, Bard College MFA program). The publication largely focuses on the intersections of sound with larger arts practices. We have been frequently cited, and now appear in syllabi at Harvard and School of the Art Institute of Chicago among other institutions.

After several issues utilizing a more traditional publication format, we began to more creatively expand on what a contemporary arts publication could be:

ISSUE FOUR
earwaveevent.org/issue/issuefour/
Our first printed issue, featuring printed artworks in a 12" booklet in a record sleeve, curated under the theme of other forms of sonic arts distribution.

ISSUE FIVE
issue5.earwaveevent.org
A 'fake' music review website entirely written by AI (using GPT-2). I trained the AI to generate reviews of non-existent albums, and in turn, artists submitted new music based off of these imagined albums. Art in America reviewed this project in a feature article: Can a Neural Network Write Criticism?

ISSUE SIX
issue6.earwaveevent.org
Our first guest edited issue (Jules Gimbrone, Columbia/Dartmouth) and utilizes a unique "time machine" web interface to support thematic content on an imagined future within the temporality of the pandemic.

ISSUE SEVEN
Our second guest edited issue with Suzanne Kite, largely focusing on indigenous arts practices around the sonic. This issue is due out Winter 2022/23.
