Bio/Research
Patrick Rivers, Ph.D., is an ethnomusicologist whose research focuses on Black popular musics in the Americas and the interactions between music, media, and technology. A primary focus of research has been revealing how and why the recorded object and the act of recording impact the aesthetic choices, group organization, and self-identification of creators and consumers of music. Rivers have researched the status of independent record stores serving transmigrant communities in Brooklyn and the decisions that entail the process of record making in the music industry. Rivers is continuing ethnographic research into the music production process of hip-hop, specifically how beat makers have responded to advances in technology and how certain technologies serve their creative processes.
