New York University Avery Fisher CenterFor Music and Media

Beyond Washington Square in Greenwich Village sits New York University Avery Fisher Center for Music and Media, the university’s hub for audio and multimedia scholarship. The center archives recordings, preserves musical performances, and supports research across sound studies and digital media. Video documentation, data services for media projects, and equipment loans sit alongside quiet listening rooms for close study.

Behind the red-brick facade at 70 W 4th St, New York, NY 10012, specialists help scholars digitize fragile tapes and run controlled playback sessions. Seminars on copyright, archival ethics, and signal processing draw graduate students and faculty each semester. A mix of studios, studios, and workstations keeps everything from hip-hop field recordings to Renaissance motets accessible for analysis.
