My research is rooted in my experience as a classical musician and in a long-standing interest in how technology shapes the way we perform, listen and connect through music. My doctoral work examined live-streamed and recorded performance from the performer’s perspective, focusing on questions of liveness, artistic control, audience presence and the increasingly blurred boundaries between live and mediated performance.

More recently, my research interests have expanded towards digital accessibility, neurodiversity and audience-centred performance design. I am particularly interested in how online and technology-mediated musical experiences can move beyond simply recreating the traditional concert hall, and instead offer audiences greater flexibility, comfort, choice and agency. This includes exploring sensory accessibility, different modes of attention and participation, and the ways digital formats can support a broader range of listening experiences.

At the centre of my current work is a wider question: how can technology help create musical experiences that are more inclusive, responsive and meaningful without losing the artistic intensity and human connection of performance? I approach this through the combined perspectives of performer, researcher and creative practitioner, bringing together artistic practice, audience experience and digital innovation.
