Andra McCartney, formerly of the Department of Communication Studies, passed away in late 2019. We deeply lament her passing. Andra taught courses on sound production, research creation, and sound theory. She was a soundwalk artist, leading public walks and creating gallery installations, recordings, performances and radio works. Her works can be heard on the internet, on CBC radio, and on CDs produced by Deep Wireless, Terra Nova, and the Canadian Electroacoustic Community. She received her PhD in Music from York University in Toronto, studying with James Tenney and Beverley Diamond. Her dissertation was on the soundscape work of Vancouver composer Hildegard Westerkamp. Andra published articles with Organised Sound, Leonardo Music Journal, Perspectives of New Music, Musicworks, Axis Voor de Kunsten V/M, Contact!, Array, Resources for Feminist Research, and Borderlines, as well as chapters in several edited volumes, including Performing Nature, Aural Cultures, Gender and Music, Ghosts in the Machine. In 2002, she edited an issue of the journal Organised Sound on the topic of soundscape composition. In 2006, she co-edited with Dr. Ellen Waterman a special issue of Intersections Journal of Canadian Music, based on papers presented at the “In and Out of the Sound Studio” Conference on gender and sound technologies, which she directed at Concordia University in July 2005.
