In this episode, we’re breaking the myths surrounding the genre of electronic music. I sat down with Dr. Suzanne Thorpe—electroacoustic flutist, sound artist, and scholar whose interdisciplinary research intertwines electronic music, feminist and ecological theory.

We’ll talk about her journey as a recording artist, her inspirations, and her work with TECHNE, a nonprofit dedicated to inspiring youth through sonic experimentation.
