Sound and Music

I am a performer and musicologist.

As a musicologist, my primary research interests involve, and extend from, the music of David Lumsdaine.

I am also engaged in ongoing projects with recent Australian music, its production, composition and reception. Most recently this has taken the form of a re‑evaluation of Australian music composed in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, resulting in an issue of the online journal resonate. In guest editing this publication, I commissioned articles from, and conducted interviews with composers, performers and musicologists. My involvement with this journal marks a significant generational change within the discourse that surrounds Australian music.

As a mandolinist, I specialize in the performance of the instrument’s recent repertoire and am active in commissioning new works
