Tariq is now researching towards a PhD in Music by Composition at the University of Hull having been awarded one of the institution’s first interdisciplinary PhD scholarships. He is working with the soundscape of the Yorkshire Dales, grounding his work on an archive of sounds recorded there 40 years ago.
