Sandra Garrido is a Postdoctoral researcher in the Performance Program. She is working with Prof Jane Davidson on a project called My Life As A Playlist. The project utilizes an interactive website created in collaboration with the Australian Broadcasting Commission to investigate the way people use music to mark key events in their lives such as weddings and funerals. The website also explores the response of modern listeners to music that was historically used to mark such events. It thus traces the trajectory of music use in significant rituals from the Medieval and Early Modern period until the present day.
