Loved presenting our research on music and social identities, co-authored with @studylistening.bsky.social, at #MUSICCONNEX. We explored how people position themselves within or outside of the “wider music community” And my red bow tie received positive peer review 🎀 #MusicScience #MusicPsychSky

After hundreds of hours playing #EldenRing, hearing the score live at the Opera House was a thrill. The #Sydney Symphony #Orchestra, Sydney Philharmonia #Choirs, and conductor Benjamin Northley were in fine form. The first moment the choir sang was magical. #LiveMusic #Gaming #VideoGames

The Shape of Dreams demo is killer! It uses MOBA controls, and this rogue-like has similarities to Hades and Path of Exile, but I'm finding myself enjoying it even more. The large and satisfying demo has me ready for the full game release on Sept 11! #shapeofdreams #gaming #videogames

Want to measure how "major" or "minor" a musical passage feels on a sliding scale, not just as a simple label? 🤔 Mike Schutz and I refined the concept of 'relative mode', treating it as a continuous spectrum from minor to major. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #musicscience #MIR 1/3
