We are very pleased to share that Nicky Swett, CMS PhD student, has successfully defended his PhD thesis titled 'Functional Analogies: Hans Keller’s Wordless Functional Analysis as a Theory of Musical Comparison'. This work investigates Hans Keller's innovative 15 Functional Analyses from the perspective of cognitive psychology, seeking to understand how Keller used these works to explore and communicate structural principles underlying musical works. Nicky has produced a podcast on his PhD research titled 'Words on Wordlessness', which is hosted here, on the website of the Cosman Keller Art & Music Trust, and can also be found on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Congratulations Nicky!
