Amanda Bayley

Amanda Bayley is Professor of Music at Bath Spa University where she leads an interdisciplinary research group on Intercultural Communication through Practice. Her publications include The Cambridge Companion to Bartók (2001) and Recorded Music: Performance, Culture, and Technology (2010), for which she received the Ruth A. Solie Award from the American Musicological Society in 2011. Her research focuses on composer-performer collaborations, rehearsal analysis and creative processes across repertoires, genres and cultures. From 2007-2009 she led a collaborative research project with the Kreutzer Quartet and Michael Finnissy: ‘From Composition to Performance: Innovations and Interactions in Contemporary String Quartets’ funded by a British Academy Larger Research Grant. One of the outputs of that research was a software DVD produced with Michael Clarke (University of Huddersfield) in 2011, an overview of which may be seen at: http://youtu.be/eHzNtCJRgOo. Amanda is Co-Investigator on two projects funded by the European Research Council: ‘Beyond East and West: developing and documenting an evolving transcultural musical practice’, and ‘Interactive Research in Music as Sound’. She is a series editor for a forthcoming book series with Routledge, on Transcultural Musical Practices. www.amandabayley.co.uk
