Research Foci
Web3 and Music Innovation
My research explores the intersection of music, technology, and innovation, particularly in the Web3 era. Drawing from my background in psychoacoustics and systematic musicology, I have explored the evolution of tonal systems, including algorithmically constrained compositions like “XronoCircles.” Collaborating with scholars such as William Sethares, I investigate how Web3 technologies and AI-driven systems can redefine music creation and distribution. This work challenges traditional notions of composition, questioning whether AI can truly compose music or if it creates something fundamentally different, and how these innovations can empower artists while considering music’s deeper emotional and interpersonal impact.Tonal Systems and Musicology Research
In parallel, my musicology research delves into the evolution of tonal systems and their philosophical implications. Building on early theorists like Pythagoras and Helmholtz, I explore how musical tones relate to one another, with a focus on new computer-mediated tonal systems. Collaborating with experts such as Sethares and Milne, I develop algorithmic compositions that challenge traditional tonality and examine how these systems reshape our perception of music. My work bridges traditional musicology with modern computational approaches, offering fresh perspectives on musical structure and its cultural significance.Sound Healing and Binaural Beats
I am also deeply interested in sound healing, particularly the use of binaural beats to influence mental and physical well-being. My exploration into this area combines music theory with therapeutic applications, studying how different frequencies can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance cognitive function. By experimenting with sound as a tool for healing, I aim to uncover new ways that music and technology can improve health and well-being, offering a holistic approach to sound that extends beyond entertainment into therapeutic realms.
