Robert O. Beahrs is an ethnomusicologist, sound artist, and filmmaker. His fieldwork in Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and the United States links archival research with multi-sensory ethnography, voice driven performance practice, filmmaking, and soundscapes. His current research projects explore genealogies of throat-singing in the Altai Mountains, interspecies listening and voicing in Western Mongolia,
and vibrational sensing with Russian cosmonauts and American astronauts during long-duration space flight. Robbie actively sings, composes music, performs live sound art for dance, and gives workshops in Tuvan throat-singing (xöömei) and other vocal practices. He holds a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology from U.C. Berkeley
and is currently working as a postdoctoral scholar in the Center for Russian and Eastern European Studies at the University of Pittsburgh with the support of a SSRC Transregional Research Fellowship. For more information, please visit www.robeahrs.com
