When you hear the term forensic musicologist<\/em>, you might think of someone who investigates musical crime scenes\u2014which is actually not too far off. When Dr. Joe Bennett is not teaching in the Professional Music and Songwriting departments at Berklee College of Music, he investigates copyright infringement in the music industry as a forensic musicologist. \u201cI was always fascinated by songwriting creativity,\u201d says Bennett. \u201cAt the start of a three-hour songwriting session, there\u2019s nothing there, and then at the end, two or three hours later, a brand new song exists that wasn\u2019t before in the world? I find that a beautiful and mysterious process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
