I am currently engaged in researching systems for the delivery and consumption of virtual art and musical performances as part of an EU funded project titled XTREME (Mixed Reality Environment for Immersive Experience of Art and Culture). I'm currently a research fellow and artist based at the University of Nottingham's Mixed Reality Laboratory and Virtual and Immersive Production Studio. My specific area of interest resides in the creation and study of innovative mixed reality environments comprised of physical realities and virtual audio content in relation to the delivery and consumption of future music, art and cultural experiences.
My past research has explored the user experience and functional character of audio augmented realities and audio augmented objects (real-world, physical objects that have been augmented with virtual audio content). I was also a lead creative and technical developer on the LEADD:NG project, part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in partnership with Midlands Engine, University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University. The LEADD:NG project explored how immersive technologies and techniques can deliver exciting new experiences for customers, visitors and audiences by introducing local businesses and creatives to new technologies helping them to develop viable products and maximise potential and profit in a post-pandemic economy.
From October 2025 I will be working on the 'Symphonies on the move' project with colleagues from the University of Nottingham's Department of Music. The project explores symphonic travels through a number of means. Firstly, a database enables users to trace where and when symphonies travelled through performances given by major European and North American orchestras in the 19th century. The Symphony Reimagined app enables the user to listen to and manipulate arrangements of symphonies made in the nineteenth century for performance in the theatre and in church. It also allows users to make their own arrangements. Thirdly, the project takes a detailed exploration of how travel shaped the symphony through a number of publications.
