I've been researching the music of Conlon Nancarrow (1912-1997) for a number of years and specialise in presenting live versions of his work, the majority of which was created for player piano.

My Nancarrow-related work to date includes:

'Nancarrow's Drum Machines: the story of his mechanical orchestra and Piece For Tape' journal article orignially published in Spanish in the Mexican journal Piliacremus.                                                                                                                     

'Conlon Nancarrow’s Player Piano', presentation at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin as part of the Free! Music festival

'Dominic Murcott plays Conlon Nancarrow', a multi-media presentation at the Whitechapel Gallery as part of the Music for Museums series.

'Anywhere In Time: A Conlon Nancarrow Festival'                                                       A ten-day event at The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City, June 2015. I co-curated the festival with Jay Sanders at the Whitney. I wrote the extensive programme notes which can be found here.
