Dr. Stefan Greenfield-Casas

Stefan Greenfield-Casas’ research is guided by a longstanding preoccupation with the interplay between music, myth, memory, and media(tion). His recent research considers the classical arrangement and concertization of video game scores vis-à-vis these conceptual obelisks. He has presented research on this and other topics nationally, internationally, and virtually at conferences across the US, Europe, and Asia, including meetings of the International Musicological Society's Music and Media Study Group, the Royal Musical Association’s Music and Philosophy Study Group, the American Musicological Society, Music and the Moving Image, Ludomusicology, and the North American Conference on Video Game Music. His work can be found or is forthcoming in The Music of Nobuo Uematsu in the Final Fantasy Series (Intellect's Studies in Game Sound and Music series), The Oxford Handbook of Arrangement Studies, The Oxford Handbook of Video Game Music and Sound, and the Journal of Sound and Music in Games. He has also contributed shorter essays to the American Musicological Society and Ludomusicology Research Group's respective blogs. Greenfield-Casas is especially interested in fostering space for dialogues within and to situate his work; to this end, he has interviewed the likes of Mariam Abounnasr, Benyamin Nuss, Eric Roth, and John Phillip Santos (among others) for various research projects.
