Europe Jazz Network has recently published an evaluative research study of its membership. Two documents have been published – an executive summary document outlining the main findings from the research, and an extensive research study displaying both qualitative and quantitative data on the network and its membership. As a member of the research steering group, Rhythm Changes Project leader Tony Whyton was invited to write a foreword for the full report and to share Rhythm Changes’ interviews and case study materials gathered over the last year.

Over the next week, several of the Rhythm Changes team members will be working together on a web and performance project. Pulse is a multimedia production based on a commissioned work by composers John Lilja and Dag Egil Njaa, in collaboration with the two Japanese multimedia artists Nagato and Suzuki. The project comprises structures based on pulse: pulse as in the smallest building block of sound, rhythm, human interaction, biology. In short, pulse in everything.

I am a PhD student in the school of Music Media and Performance at the University of Salford researching the effect of digital technology on the dissemination and consumption of ‘niche’ genres of popular music.  Enough to be going on with you might think? But I’ve recently had a chapter of my work accepted for publication in a forthcoming Ashgate book about European popular music.
