Hello

Matt’s research centres on practice-based approaches to jazz and contemporary performance with a particular focus on guitar technique, improvisational interaction, and harmonic language in contemporary jazz. His work examines how technical innovation can expand improvisational vocabulary and enable greater flexibility in navigating complex harmonic and intervallic structures. Through the development of original technical systems, compositions, and documented performances, his research positions instrumental technique as a site of artistic inquiry. This work integrates performance, composition, and analytical reflection, contributing to broader discussions surrounding practice-based research and creative methodologies in contemporary music.
