I'm currently a contributing editor at Pitchfork and a writer/editor/content producer for Third Bridge Creative. Previously, I was senior contributing editor at SPIN, electronic music editor at Rhapsody, and editor of Beatportal, Beatport's news blog. Additionally, I wrote extensively for The Wire for more than a decade. My work has been published in The New York Times, Slate, Interview, Frieze, and Parkett, among other outlets, and my essays have been included in Christoph Cox and Daniel Warner's "Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music," Alex Ross and Daphne Carr's "Best Music Writing 2011," and Tony Herrington's "Epiphanies: Life-Changing Encounters with Music."I was born in Portland, Oregon, but have lived abroad since 2005, first in Barcelona, then Berlin, and finally Barcelona all over again.
