Current research projects include the experience and treatment of tinnitus, the promotion and use of noise-canceling headphones, online "digital drugs," and "spiritual technologies" such as sound machines and flotation tanks. I also look at online discourse and promotional materials written about commercial music. 

In the summer of 2008, I completed my MA thesis, Trails of the Dark Horse: Culture, Metaculture and Pathways of Indie Music, based on research I did at the Secretly Canadian record label. My article   “Liminal States: Life as an Indie Musician on Taiwan” was published in Folklore Forum.
