Welcome
I am a music analyst, composer and percussionist. I'm a Senior Lecturer in Music at the University of Lincoln and Artistic Director of contemporary music group Dark Inventions.
My approach to research combines musical analysis and composition as I explore how we perceive and conceive time in contemporary classical music. This underpinned my 2015 PhD thesis, Conceptions of Time and Form in Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Music, funded by the AHRC and completed at the University of York. As a composer my work spans different forms. I specialise in working closely with performers to create bespoke projects. As a musical curator, I develop project with my own group that include new commissions, recordings and innovative performance events across the UK.
