His main research interest is the history of European music cultures of the late medieval and early modern period (c. 1200-1600), with a particular focus on transdisciplinary explorations of late medieval and early modern courts and their soundscapes; the history of music history and musicology from 800 to the present; the history of hearing with a focus on pre-modern acoustemologies and historical sound studies; and the study of music manuscripts and fragments in their many contrasting manifestations.
