My research focuses upon electronic music, combining both theory and practice.
In theoretical terms, I have developed a new work-concept that is responsive to contemporary music; rather than accepting the prevailing philosophical paradigm, which rarely gets beyond 18th century notions of the music work, I have argued for an updated account that acknowledges the many ways that music is now created, performed, produced and experienced. My various talks, papers and book chapters serve to demonstrate some of the many ways in which contemporary music may extend beyond traditional conceptions of works and their performances, highlighting potential links with art philosophy more generally whilst suggesting ways in which analytical philosophy might be used to explain how contemporary music exists. Overall, my theoretical work has addressed: compositional methods; analytical approaches to electronic music; the nature of performance interpretation and authenticity; the nature of digitised music; various philosophical paradoxes that electronic music seems to produce.
