“I am researching the role of compositional process in relation to the archaeology of music, with an emphasis on exploring new methods, and with a special focus on composing music for Aurignacian flutes. My PhD dissertation called Aurignacian Rhapsody has started to address these ideas at intersections of Experimental Archaeology, Experimental Music, and Experimental Heritage. As performing practice, methodological approaches value the performer as composer, raising stakes for facets of experience”
