Mattia Merlini
Mattia Merlini is a Ph.D. fellow at the University of Milan, holding an MA in musicology (Milan, 2019) and a second MA in philosophy (Pisa, 2022). He is also a teaching assistant at the University of Milan (since early 2021) and at the IULM University (since late 2022), in the fields of music for audio-visual media and popular music. His current research interests concern various aspects of music in and for media, and primarily the change in the concept of ‘music genre’ in the age of streaming, and polystylism in video game music. Outside academia, he teaches philosophy, human sciences, history and music disciplines in secondary schools and has been organizing and participating in outreach activities since 2017, especially in the fields of art and philosophy, in the areas of Milan and of Bolzano, his homeland – where he is also active as a composer for local independent films.
