I am currently researching and writing about ‘musical texture’: what it is, how and why this concept came about, why it matters. In my PhD thesis, I document and respond to twentieth-century theories of ‘musical texture’ and ‘counterpoint’. I show points of connection between these theories, studies in auditory and visual stream segregation, and twentieth-century and contemporary discourse on music-dance relations. With reference to music by Stravinsky, Berg and Bartók, I also rethink available analytical frameworks and vocabulary.

I have particular interests in the history of music theory, choreomusicology, and the links between music, music theory, technology, science and philosophy. In 2020, I received an AHRC fellowship to carry out research at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.
