Practicing Scales

Practicing Scales is a creative practice research project that explores the theoretical frameworks of subscendence through music performance and spatial audio composition, utilising the disassembly and reassembly of musical ‘objects’ as a method for investigation. By examining the interplay between music-related 'wholes' and 'parts,' the project aims to demonstrate the fluidity of boundaries and the entanglement of elements in the process of music creation.

The project was presented at the University of Gloucestershire’s ‘Everyday is Spatial’ conference in 2023, which encouraged participants to engage with the potentials, challenges and uses of how spatial audio may come to define the everyday audio experience. The project was later published in a special edition of the International Journal of Creative Media Research journal in 2025.
