Grace Healy
Her research tackles issues concerning gender and sexuality within popular music, with respect to both the music itself and its position within a broader sociopolitical context, and she is therefore linked to both PMSRG and the Centre for Music, Gender and Identity (MuGI). Her previous work has focused on masculine identities within British post-punk scene, and her PhD project has grown out of these interests to centre on the influence of Dadaist aesthetics and culture on popular music scenes.
Paul Francis info@pafrancis.com
Paul is studying a PhD exploring popular music performance teaching in higher education, focusing on individual performance tuition and looking in particular at drum kit tuition, although also exploring ensemble performance tuition. He is also composing, performing and recording pieces designed specifically to be used in such pedagogical situations.
Austin Moore A.P.Moore@hud.ac.uk
Austin is studying a PhD exploring the use of the compressor in popular music recordings. He is looking in particular at the use of the 1176, but is also comparing this to other classic hardware compressors. He is using a range of standard testing methodologies, but also exploring the use of such units in recordings, and their surrounding ecologies.
