I've been developing software for artists, musicians and all sorts of creative people for over 25 years. I'm currently pursuing my PhD in Cognitive Science part time.
My first music software development was working with Joel Chadabe and David Zicarelli (now of Cycling '74) on M and over the years I've had the good fortune and honor of having my work rub elbows with a wide array of artists from Diplo, Jon Hopkins, Fourtet, Monolake, and Dan Deacon, to Peter Gabriel, Larry Fast, and Elliot Sharp.
