Biographie:

Nikita Braguinski is a musicologist and historian of technology. He studied musicology at the University of Cologne and wrote his PhD in media theory at the Humboldt University of Berlin. He was a visiting postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, a postdoctoral fellow of the Music Department at Harvard University, and most recently a postdoctoral researcher at Humboldt University where he wrote this book. He plays flute, piano, and guitar (but only when nobody is listening). His past musical experience ranges from playing in a rock band to jazz compositions, symphonic music, and electronic dance music.
