About
Tim Hughes is a musicologist with teaching and research interests in the analysis of popular music, the study of repetition, R&B, soul, funk, punk, hip-hop, and blues rock. He has focused in particular on the music of Stevie Wonder, as well as Prince, Nirvana, and Sleater-Kinney, and the subjects of quotation and cultural memory in hip-hop, how repeated musical elements combine to make grooves (which then combine to make tracks), and developing new ways to study popular music.
Tim was a songwriter and guitarist in Nashville and Austin in the 1980s before studying composition and theory at North Texas and writing his PhD on the music of Stevie Wonder at the University of Washington. He also worked at Experience Music Project in Seattle, where he developed numerous audio and multimedia exhibits for the Jimi Hendrix Gallery, as well as on the history of recorded sound and the music of Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, and Eric Clapton.
Tim is the programme director for the BMus (Hons.) programme in music at the University of Surrey, where he teaches Harmony, Popular Music Harmony, and African-American Music.
