Jennifer Milioto Matsue is Assistant Professor of Music, East
Asian Studies, and Anthropology at Union College in Schenectady,
New York. She earned her Ph.D. in ethnomusicology from the University
of Chicago in 2003. She has conducted research on a variety of
music cultures in contemporary Japan including the underground
Tokyo hardcore rock scene, nagauta (a type of traditional chamber
music featuring the three-string lute shamisen), electronica and
trance raves, and most recently, the increasingly popular world
of wadaiko (Japanese ensemble drumming). She is interested in
how performers find meaning through participating in such music
worlds, with a particular focus on women's roles in music-making.
She is author of the book Making Music in Japan's Underground:
The Tokyo Hardcore Scene (2008), and has published several articles
and reviews on related topics.
