Research & Practice
RESEARCH FOCUS
My research investigates the intersection of musicology, digital culture, collective voice, and human experience.I explore how virtual choirs reshape participation, emotional connection, and musical presence within digitally mediated environments, with a growing focus on temporality, relationality, and collective emotional experience.
RESEARCH APPROACH
My research combines artistic practice, phenomenological observation, and cultural analysis.Rather than treating virtual choirs as purely technological objects, I explore them as relational environments shaped by sound, image, participation, temporality, and emotional experience.My work develops through practice itself — through creating, coordinating, observing, and reflecting on digitally mediated collective singing.

CURRENT DIRECTIONS
Current Research Directions
Current research explores virtual choirs as relational and affective systems within digital musicology, with particular attention to asynchronous participation, collective emotional experience, and temporally mediated forms of connection.Additional interests include artistic research, audience participation, therapeutic and socially engaged musical practice, and new forms of reflective music writing.
