From 2013, Ed led an MA module on Music Management at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Ed is examining ways in which recent music and arts practices address issues of historicity and articulate temporal experience. As a Research Associate with the Science Museum Group, he is exploring the relationship between technological, instrumental, and musical development, and the presentation of music and sound within museum contexts. He is investigating the links between Art schools, Pop music, and experimental music practices for Riffs journal.
More broadly, his research considers ways in which musical practices and metaphors 鈥� such as listening, voice, rhythm, harmony, composition, tempo, and attunement 鈥� can provide valuable resources for seemingly 鈥榥on-musical鈥� issues.
Ed has supervised MA dissertations and major projects at Goldsmiths, University of London.
