Research Interests

New Music, experimental music theatre and contemporary jazz.

Biography

I have come to Glasgow from the University of Sussex, where I spent eight years, more than three of which as Head of Department. Before that, I was at the University of Southampton, where I got my PhD and where I spent another year as Leverhulme Special Research Fellow. My first degree is from Technische Universität Berlin (MA in Musicology and English and American Literature).

I am the author of The Music of Mauricio Kagel (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2006) and the editor of The Modernist Legacy: Essays on New Music (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2009) as well as the co-editor (with Martin Iddon) of Mauricio Kagel bei den Darmstädter Ferienkursen für Neue Musik: Eine Dokumentation (Hofheim: Wolke, 2009). I specialise mostly in New Music, experimental music theatre and contemporary jazz.

Research Projects

Currently I am directing an AHRC-funded research project on ‘The Use of Audiovisual Resources in Jazz Historiography and Scholarship: Performance, Embodiment and Mediatised Representations’ (as part of the ‘Beyond Text’ scheme). When I find the time, I want to pursue my long-term project on ‘New Music, Globalisation and the Cultural Geography of Modernism’.
