Personal profile

Biography

I am a writer and researcher with a focus on auditory culture, instrument studies and histories of electronic sound and music. I'm currently working on the Leverhulme-funded Amplification Project with Professor Steve Waksman.

My doctoral research addressed the historiography of electronic music through a study of the EMS Synthi 100 synthesizer, and was supported by the Science Museum, London, through the AHRC's Collaborative Doctoral Award scheme. 

I am an experienced educator who has taught on BA and MA programmes in Sound & Music Production, Media & Communications, Journalism, Research Methods and Critical Writing at institutions including the University of Lincoln, BIMM and the Royal College of Art.

I have a professional background in music and arts journalism, with bylines in publications such as The Wire, Sight & Sound and the London Review of Books.
