Brendan's music industry experience lays the platform for various untapped research opportunities. This promotes practice-led, auto ethnographic and ethnographic designs that generate primary research sources and these resonate with aspiring music production enthusiasts' hunger for ‘real world’ learning. To compliment this, Brendan's Doctorate of Education has illuminated the stringent data collection and analytical approaches that are necessary to produce creditable research. His research unpacks critical and creative concepts, it challenges some stagnant attempts to do so whilst discussing the instinctual decision making process of the popular music producer. This often highlights the integral importance of 'the song' and song writing and how all the skills of music production are interrelated as a form of agency. His current publications and conference presentations are listed below.
