My research interests are currently focussed on the culture and technology of sound recording studios and the practice of popular music production. As the co-director of a commercial studio facility in Glasgow, I deploy an autoethnographic approach to my research which allows for credible interaction with other professional practitioners in the recording industry. I am also passionate about widening accessibility to music production and recording technology for disadvantaged groups. Further recent research focusses on the use of 3D audio within VR/AR/XR technology for content creators, artists and film-makers and I have a delivered a number of conference papers and workshops in the field. I am an established composer and sound mixer, with production credits including music for television network programmes, surround sound mixes for cinematic documentaries and immersive sound design for VR/AR experiences including the AHRC funded "Digital Laocoön" project and "Empire Retold: other voices from the British Empire Exhibition".
