Kyle's main interest is the history of music technology since 1900, and his approach blends music studies with media studies and cultural sociology. His current project is called Decomposed: The Political Ecology of Music (MIT Press, forthcoming), an article-length version of which has been published in Popular Music. Other work appears in venues such as Popular Music and Popular Music History. He has also coedited two books-The Routledge Reader on the Sociology of Music (Routledge 2015), Living Stereo: Histories and Cultures of Multichannel Sound (Bloomsbury 2015)-and, with Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier, has started work on a third, tentatively called Organized Sound: Music, Media, Infrastructure (in preparation).
