Aaron Moorehouse has just had an article published in Tempo, titled ‘Where are we going? And what have we done?’, which focuses on the way composers consider the psychosocial impacts of their work.

It’s a fascinating practice that explores aspects of documentation, authorship and safeguarding, which he outlines in the article.
