Academic Work
In 2016 I returned to academia 20 years after completing my undergraduate degree. I received an MMus in Composition with distinction from the University of Southampton in 2018 and was awarded the Presidential Scholarship by the same institution to study for a PhD. I began a part-time PhD in October 2018, with a completion date of 2024.
My research interests include:
Ontology of improvisational works
The aesthetics of imperfection
Embodied cognition
The influence of digital aesthetics on live performing musicians
Improvisation and open score composition
Collaborative compositional processes
Groove
