Joshua Hudelson





I'm a researcher, teacher, and musician.   🎶

My areas of focus are sound studies 🔊, the history of technology 🛠, and musical culture in the MENA region.   🕌

Please check out my latest scholarship on ASMR .   👉 👂

Beyond academe, I make music and art with computers.   🤖

You can see that stuff in my portfolio.

I also write educational games to promote braille literacy for BELLA Games.   ⠃ ⠑ ⠇ ⠇ ⠁
