Practice-based research is central to my approach as both a performer and academic. Within contemporary music scholarship, creative practice is increasingly recognised as a legitimate form of research in which artistic activity functions not only as performance but also as a method of inquiry. My work positions improvisation, composition, recording, and performance as analytical processes through which musical ideas can be tested, refined, and critically evaluated. Through the integration of reflective practice, transcription, performance documentation, and analytical writing, my research investigates how instrumental technique, improvisational language, and harmonic innovation can be developed through iterative creative processes. The outputs presented in this section—including recordings, transcriptions, scores, and technical studies—demonstrate how practice itself can generate new knowledge about musical structure, improvisational strategy, and performance methodology.
