The MRG is a level one research group of music researchers based at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts at Edith Cowan University. It sits under the larger unmbrella of CREATEC

The artistic application and interrogation of sound in its multiple manifestations across time are principal concerns of this practice-led group of researchers. Music encapsulates a timeless, though constantly challenged human knowledge, invariably inextricable from innovative technologies. Investigators probe instrumental techniques, notational media, interpretive concepts, historic contexts and sonic interference to examine the intangibles of auditory sensations in which we are enveloped.

Members: Mr Graham Wood, Mr Lindsay Vickery, Dr Malcom Riddoch, Dr Jonathan Paget, Mr Stewart Smith, Dr Geoff Lowe,  Dr Matt Styles, Johannes Leubbers.
