Lindsey Reymore
Lindsey Reymore is an assistant professor of Music Theory in the School of Music, Dance and Theatre and co-director of the CACTUS Music Lab at ASU. Her research investigates the role of timbre—the perceptual qualities or characteristics of sound—in musical experience. To study how timbre interacts with meaning, cognition, and musical form, she designs interdisciplinary methodologies, synthesizing approaches from behavioral psychology and signal processing in combination with music analysis. Her research has been published in journals including Frontiers in Psychology, PLOS One, Music Perception, and Musicae Scientiae.
Reymore is an active member of the ACTOR Partnership (Analysis, Creation, and Teaching of Orchestration), a global network of musicians and scientists working on projects related to musical timbre and orchestration. She co-leads the Society for Music Theory Timbre & Orchestration Interest group as well as ACTOR’s Timbre Semantics Working Group. Reymore completed a postdoctoral fellowship at McGill University and holds a PhD in Music Theory from The Ohio State University as well as degrees in oboe performance from The University of Texas at Austin (MM) and Vanderbilt University (BMus).
