Wolfgang Marx

In this episode, I chat with Professor Wolfgang Marx. Professor Marx is Professor of Historical Musicology at University College Dublin and a member of the UCD Humanities Institute, whose research centers on the representation of death in music, György Ligeti, post-truth and music, and the theory of musical genres. He has served multiple terms as Head of the UCD School of Music and has held editorial roles such as the Journal of the Society for Musicology in Ireland. An inaugural UCD Innovation Fellow, he is currently President of the Society for Musicology in Ireland and a general editor of Brill's series "Death in History, Culture, and Society." Before entering academia, he worked for a decade as a freelance author and product manager for major labels including Sony, Teldec, and BMG.
