Michael B. MacDonald is Associate Professor of Music at the MacEwan University Faculty of Fine Arts and Communications, Canada. He is the founding program chair of the MusCan Film Series, serves on the editorial board of the journal Intersections, is the program committee for KISMIF (Keep it Simple, Make it Fast), is on the scientific committee for COMbART, and is an active member of the International Council of Traditional Music Study Group on Audiovisual Ethnomusicology. He is the author of Playing for Change (2016), Remix and Life Hack in HipHop (2016), and Finding Phish (2020).

CineWorlding is a deep dive into MacDonald’s highly original approach to digital audiovisual filmmaking and perhaps the most nuanced articulation of research-creation yet to come out of music studies. Ethnomusicology is exploding. CineWorlding throws fuel on the flames and offers exciting new critical pathways for scholars and students.
