Curriculum Vitae

Dr. Addrich Mauch, born in Aarau/Switzerland, received his PhD in musicology in Bern in 2023 (summa cum laude). He enjoys playing the double bass and previously worked as a boat builder on Lake Lucerne.

During his studies, he focused on the interaction between popular cultures, their media and people. With his background in cultural anthropology in music, especially in the perception of pop music, and philosophy, he focused on game studies from his Master in World Arts onwards, specializing in the subjective perception, immersion, and interaction of the player and the nature of virtual worlds. He is currently researching Swiss gaming cultures and gaming contexts with players of digital games from 1970 to 2000 as part of the SNF project »Confoederatio Ludens«.
