Oblique Curiosities are David Ben Shannon and Sarah E. Truman. We’re old friends and have written songs together since 2011. Often, the impetus of these songs emerge from a series of texts to each other about an unfolding personal or world event, a concept we’re trying to think through, or as we run after a train, plane, or bus we’re about to miss (it happens more than you’d think). We’re both academics. Our collaborative research interests include music making, affect theory, queer theory, Doctor Who (and other SF), critical pedagogies, and research-creation. Sometimes we write scholarly articles about our compositions (and sometimes we write compositions about our scholarly articles). ️️
