I joined IHIQS in 2011. When I joined, I was in a systems engineering course in graduate school, searching for an outlet to participate in intellectual discussions. Surprisingly, I hoped to discuss music theory and emerging theoretical music research with like-minded people, but I have encountered so much more during my involvement in the organization. I think that people don’t often realize that, for some people, the need for intellectual stimulation is akin to the need to breathe; we must seek it, or else life is mundane, and the desires of our hearts remain unfulfilled. I am happy to have had the opportunity to satisfy my intellectual curiosity in IHIQS.
