Ymchwil
Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar groestoriadau rhwng safbwyntiau archifol, dadansoddol, creadigol a beirniadol-ddamcaniaethol ar gerddoriaeth gyngerdd ôl-1945, theatr gerdd arbrofol ac opera. Rwyf wedi cyhoeddi'n eang ar gerddoriaeth ac opera gyfoes yng nghyngerdd Prydain, ac ar hyn o bryd rwy'n ysgrifennu'r llyfr cyntaf ar gerddoriaeth Judith Weir CBE a Master of the Queen's Music, ar gyfer Gwasg Prifysgol Caergrawnt.
Rhwng 2021-23 cynhaliais Gymrodoriaeth Ymchwil Leverhulme a chyn hynny roeddwn yn Gyfarwyddwr Ymchwil yn goruchwylio cyflwyniad REF2021'r Ysgol (2017-2021).
Addysgu
Mae fy addysg israddedig yn canolbwyntio ar gerddoriaeth ers c. 1890 i'r presennol ac mae'n cynnwys amrywiaeth o safbwyntiau hanesyddol, diwylliannol, gwleidyddol a dadansoddol cerddoriaeth ar ganolfannau diwylliannol Ewrop (Geni Moderniaeth), a thopograffi amrywiol cerddoriaeth Brydeinig ers 1900 (Pynciau mewn Cerddoleg 2B). Dyfeisiais fodiwl ar gerddoriaeth Amgylchynol (Sounded Out) a goruchwylio traethodau hir ar ystod o bynciau, gan gynnwys cerddoriaeth boblogaidd, rhaglennu cyngherddau, a cherddoriaeth gelf gyfoes arbrofol.
Mae fy nysgu Meistr wedi cynnwys seminarau ar gerddoriaeth a hil, ethnigrwydd a hunaniaeth, darllen ac ysgrifennu academaidd, astudiaethau braslunio, moderniaeth gynnar, ac ecoleg.
Ymhlith y pynciau PhD yr wyf wedi'u goruchwylio mae ymddangosiad yr avant-garde yng Ngorllewin yr Almaen yn y 1940au, bandiau rhithwir a lleisiau, a cherddoriaeth Pavel Haas.
Rwyf wedi bod yn Arholwr Allanol ar gyfer graddau BA (Anrh) mewn Cerddoriaeth ym Mhrifysgolion Bryste (2017-21), Caergrawnt (2020-3), Keele (2020-3), a Rhydychen (2017-20).
Bywgraffiad
I studied music at Durham University (1990-93) before completing an MMus in music theory and analysis at King's College London (1993-4), and a DPhil at the University of Oxford on the early instrumental music of Harrison Birtwistle (2000).
Halcyon summer breaks during my first degree were spent working in London at the National Sound Archive, and for The Musical Times. I was later employed by Macmillan Publishers as an assistant editor on the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1994-5). I held a scholarship at the Paul Sacher Foundation, Basel, in 1999, and was appointed Lecturer in Music at Cardiff University in 2000.
