Hello! As usual, lots going on here, but this month is an especially exciting one as we gear up for our ACTOR Year 3 Workshop, which will be held virtually the week of July 12. The annual workshops are an opportunity for ACTOR members to connect, collaborate, and plan for the upcoming year. We are looking forward to discussing updates on projects that have been rolling along for a few years now…

Hi, all! Lots to report in terms of ACTOR activities in the past months, so I thought I’d write about some of our ongoing projects and what I’ve been working on as the ACTOR Analysis postdoc—and take the opportunity to share some photos from my favorite Spring hobby: gardening!

Hi, everyone! It’s been a great first two and a half months or so post-doc-ing up here at McGill, though we’ve been in pandemic shut-down mode for most of that time.

Lindsey here, reporting on a fantastic virtual conference that took place last week, September 3–4, “Timbre 2020.” While it was certainly disappointing not to be gathering in Greece as planned, this second international conference on timbre was still a golden opportunity for #timbregeeks around the world to gather together and share their latest discoveries.

Hello, all! My name is Lindsey Reymore, and I am one of the new post-docs at McGill on the ACTOR project along with Matt Zeller. I’ll be working in the Analysis Axis, helping to create new projects while continuing my research on timbre semantics, cross-modal correspondences, and timbre/orchestration-focused musical analysis.
