Pauline Larrouy-Maestri is a Senior Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, where she has been working since 2019 after serving as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Neuroscience Department from 2014-2019. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on how humans categorize acoustic information that unfolds over time to make sense of sounds, working at the intersection of music, speech, and neuroscience. Dr. Larrouy-Maestri holds a PhD in Psychology from the University of Liège (2009-2013) and has an unusually diverse educational background including a Bachelor in Music (Piano) from the Royal Conservatory of Mons, a Master in Speech Therapy from the University of Brussels, additional studies in Psychology, Pedagogy, and Music Therapy, and research stays at McGill University and SUNY Buffalo. This multidisciplinary foundation informs her unique approach to studying sound perception. Her research examines how we process ambiguous auditory material that sits at the boundaries between music and speech categories, such as sprechgesang and West-African talking drums. She investigates auditory sequence processing in music, particularly how continuous streams of sound are parsed into meaningful units, and has made significant contributions to understanding the perception of correctness in singing. Her work on vocal communication explores how pitch, timing, and other acoustic features contribute to our interpretation of emotional content and meaning in both music and speech. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a sophisticated integration of behavioral, electrophysiological, and computational approaches to study music-speech interactions, with growing emphasis on cross-cultural perspectives, individual differences, and neural mechanisms. Her work increasingly examines how subtle acoustic variations influence aesthetic judgments and emotional responses to vocalizations. 2023: €20,000 research scholarship for "Humanity of Speech" project 2017: Selected for "Sign Up! Careerbuilding for outstanding female post docs in the MPG" 2016: Young Investigator Award from SEMPRE and ICMPC14 2015: PBEEE Merit scholarship from Fonds de recherche du Québec 2013: Patrimoine de l'Université de Liège and FNRS fundings 2011: Grant from French Community of Belgium Dr. Larrouy-Maestri currently supervises multiple researchers including Camila Bruder, Madita Hoerster, and Zofia Hobubowska. Her research is supported by competitive grants including the recent Imminent scholarship and previous funding from Belgian and Canadian sources. She maintains extensive international collaborations with researchers including David Poeppel, Melanie Wald-Fuhrmann, Marc Pell, and others across neuroscience, psychology, and musicology disciplines. Her work is conducted within the Neuroscience Department at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, where she contributes to the institute's interdisciplinary mission of studying aesthetic experiences through multiple methodological approaches. She participates in research groups focusing on auditory perception, music cognition, and the neural mechanisms underlying language and music processing, helping bridge traditionally separate fields through innovative experimental designs.

Drew Nobile serves as Associate Professor of Music Theory at the University of Oregon's School of Music and Dance. His academic appointments include previous faculty positions at the University of Chicago (2013–15) and Brooklyn College (2010–13). He earned his Ph.D. in Music Theory from CUNY Graduate Center in 2014, with additional degrees from University of Washington (M.A., 2009) and Brown University (Sc.B. in Mathematics and Music, 2007). Nobile specializes in the theory and analysis of popular music, with research focusing on rock and pop song structure, harmonic function, voice leading, and the relationship between vocal delivery and formal design. His work bridges traditional music theory with popular music studies, particularly examining how timbre, texture, and lyrical narrative interact with harmonic structures to create formal teleology in popular songs. He advocates for expanding music theory curricula beyond traditional Western art music canons. His publications include the award-winning monograph Form as Harmony in Rock Music (Oxford University Press, 2020), which received the Society for Music Theory's Emerging Scholar Award. Current research includes his NEH-funded second book project Voicing Form in Rock and Pop, 1991–2020 , analyzing vocal delivery's structural role in contemporary popular music. His articles appear in leading journals including Music Theory Spectrum , Journal of Music Theory , and Music Theory Online , where he serves as Associate Editor since November 2022. National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipend (2022) Society for Music Theory Emerging Scholar Book Award (2021) Adam Krims Award, SMT Popular Music Interest Group (2017) Oregon Humanities Center Faculty Research Fellowship (2022 & 2016) UO Faculty Research Award (2022 & 2017) Nobile is a dedicated pedagogue who has overhauled the first-year theory curriculum to be more inclusive regarding both repertoire and teaching methodologies. He implements progressive techniques such as ungrading, universal design, and peer instruction. His scholarly work demonstrates how structural listening reveals essential features of popular music that challenge simplistic notions about the genre's musical complexity.
