Marking a year since it’s premiere, a score-follower video of a recent piece of mine, A Self-Portrait (Couperin) (2022-23) is now available on youtube.

Last year I was extremely lucky to interview sound-artist (and fellow Bristolian) Kathy Hinde for the journal Stage Screen Sound. Kathy makes extraordinarily beautiful work that ranges over installations, participatory events, happenings, and live performances. You can read the interview online here (starting p.164).

Really excited to have my first book published with Boydell & Brewer. A long time in the making, it’s a co-edited collection around issues of Music and Time, put together with my friend and collaborator, music psychologist Dr Michelle Phillips (RNCM). Full details on the Boydell and Brewer website here.

I’m delighted to announce that my work has been featured on a new release - ENCLOSURE, from ensemble The House of Bedlam.

I’m delighted to announce the publication of a new edition of Contemporary Music Review on Musical Materialisms, guest edited by myself, Prof. Isabella van Elferen (Kingston University), and Dr Sam Wilson (Guildhall School of Music and Drama).

As you may be aware from a previous post, recently revised an orchestral piece for a recording project with the London Symphony Orchestra. The piece - but today we collect ads - is over ten years old. I was twenty-three when I wrote it and less than a year out of studies. had to revise the piece as if I was a 23-year-old again, but with the wider practical experience that 10 years of professional work brings. It was certainly not my intention to aesthetically upgrade the work in any sense. To work out what I was trying to do originally and then try and do that better.

In a time of international emergency, this feels like small news - but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was absolutely thrilled and excited to have been included on a new release from the London Symphony Orchestra.

It has been a rather busy summer so far, even on top of the usual frantic entanglement of marking and assessment that a university position demands. This is a little update as to my various research activities over the last two or three months, with some previews of upcoming projects.
