Sanne Krogh Groth is Associate Professor of Musicology at Lund University's Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences within the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology. She serves as Manager of Research and Research Education for the Division of Musicology and Intermedia Studies and maintains an active research profile with 84 research outputs and 16 projects to date.
Her educational background includes a PhD from the University of Copenhagen (2010), with her dissertation focusing on the establishment of the Swedish electronic music studio EMS. She has held significant editorial positions, serving as editor-in-chief of Seismograf from 2011-2018 and continuing as editor of Seismograf Peer since 2018.
Dr. Groth's research centers on historiographical, aesthetic, political, and institutional issues in art music, electronic music, and sound art over the past 75 years. Her current work focuses on experimental music in Java, Indonesia, where she has conducted fieldwork with experimental musicians in Yogyakarta for seven years. Her primary research projects include 'Java-Futurism,' exploring noise and experimental music in Java (funded by VR), and 'Aesthetics of Extinction,' examining multispecies relationships through sound.
Her publication trends reveal a strong interdisciplinary approach combining musicology with anthropology, environmental studies, and cultural theory. Recent works explore Indonesian experimental music traditions like jathilan (trance/horse dance), cyborg aesthetics in contemporary composition, and the relationship between birdsong and extinction. Her research demonstrates increasing focus on Southeast Asian sound cultures and ecological sound studies.
