Research Interests
After a PhD on early 17th-century English church music, I pivoted into composing for theatre and television, and into classical freelance playing on any keyboards other than pianos, particularly with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. I also got involved in early Scottish music, and over 30 years as director of Concerto Caledonia made sixteen albums of newly-researched repertoire, giving performances across the world, and collaborating with artists from many genres.
I was a producer for over a decade at BBC Radio 3, and a music producer and composer on Channel 4’s teen drama Skins. Since returning to academia in 2010, I have been principal investigator on the AHRC-funded research project Bass Culture in Scottish Musical Traditions (2012-15), and co-investigator on The Edinburgh Allan Ramsay (2018-23).
I welcome research students in historical and traditional music, performance-related research, and practice-research.
