Both a keen musician, playing in several bands (www.myspace.com/quicktotheobservatory and www.myspace.com/silenceinthestreets) based in the East Yorkshire area, and a music student, Robert Jaques has accumulated experience and strong interest in the musical landscape. Over time, these interests have expressed themselves in academic writing in the areas of music that speak to him most, mainly the alternative music scene and how culture affects how we interpret music and its value to us.
