Matt Rahaim's ethnomusicological work focuses on Hindustani music, practices of listening, methexis, and the mysteries of voice. His first book, Musicking Bodies: Gesture and Voice in Hindustani Music, dealt with the tacit bodily disciplines passed down through generations of Hindustani vocalists. His new book, Ways of Voice: Vocal Striving and Moral Contestation in North India and Beyond, investigates various traditions of voice production and vocal change in the Hindustani vocal ecumene.
