I have 5+ years experience working as a business analyst/programmer with ERP and CRM software in an industry context (Renishaw PLC, working with Sage Line 500/ERP1000, CRM and Infor Syteline). I also have some years working in software quality assurance and application engineering at ZOO Digital PLC and Sega Europe Ltd.During the course of my PhD I acted as a graduate teaching assistant, facilitating higher education music classes. As a guitar instructor I have also hosted multiple music workshops for adults, two of which were as a presenter at the regular conference Exploring the Divided Brain & Coming to our Senses, which focusses on the work of Dr Iain McGilchrist and is organised by Field & Field. By using my work as a graduate teaching assistant as a series of case studies, I was awarded the qualification of Associate Fellow of Advance HEA. I executed the functional design of the Pomera Press website and its accompanying web shop, considering the user experience from beginning to end. The site’s first major physical publication was released in May 2023, and all copies were sold successfully and despatched within the first two months. Alongside this more than double the same number of eBooks were also sold, and later a limited run of Spanish editions of our first publication were also sold out.In May 2023 I was awarded my doctorate, after completing and defending my PhD thesis which was titled Digital Hybrid: Correspondence With Digital Materials, Exploring a Hybrid Composition Practice Across Multiple Domains. This practice-led research project focussed on composition for hybrid ensembles using acoustic and electronic instrumentation. I now act as Artistic Director for UnHeard, which is a collective of PhD/postgraduate composers, all of whom are alumni from the RNCM in Manchester. Through the UnHeard Ensemble they share their compositional, research and artistic interests with the public – whether these be questions around the use of technology, the role of audio-visual, blending of genres, use of AI, atypical instrumentation, or how the covid pandemic affected the lives and practices of musicians in general. UnHeard have organised concerts in the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall Music Room, St Margaret’s Church in Whalley Range, the Edge Theatre & Arts Centre in Chorlton (part of Chorlton Arts Festival), the RNCM, and the alternative arts centre TOU in Stavanger, Norway. The group has previously received funding from the Rushworth Trust, the Rundell Trust and RNCM PRiSM.
