Congratulations to Lecturer Dr James Dooley, whose album in collaboration with Jamie Savan, The Polyphonic Cornett, was released by Birmingham Record Company in November.
The album explores the intersection of ‘old’ musical instruments, such as the cornett, with ‘new’ music technology. #AcademicSky
