About
Over the past several years, Wim van der Meer has worked on knocking down the barriers between historical, systematic and ethno- musicology. In this context, the field of postcolonial studies plays a major role, as it provides tools for studying hybridisation and globalisation.
Wim studied anthropology and musicology at the University of Amsterdam. He did his Ph.D. at the University of Utrecht in 1977 on the subject of “Hindustani Music in the Twentieth Century” (publ. 1980). In India he has received extended and intensive training in Hindustani classical vocal music since 1970 under Pandit Dilip Chandra Vedi, one of the most knowledgeable musicians of the twentieth century, and himself a disciple of stalwarts Bhaskar Buwa Bakhle, Faiyaz Khan and Alladiya Khan.
Wim presently teaches cultural musicology and world music studies at the Department of Musicology of the University of Amsterdam. His recent publications include the “Raga Guide” (co-author), a work that received international acclaim in more than 70 music journals and newspapers. From 2005 he has been appointed chief editor of the Journal of the Indian Musicological Society. Apart from Indian music he also does research in the field of Brazilian music. His work on computer assisted research in musicology is internationally known.
