and this is the semi-paid artistic/tech work outside of my dayjob – which this website is intended to showcase, although it’s an extremely gappy record.
I have worked with the Max/MSP/Jitter toolset for audio & video/animated graphics since the late 1990s and PureData almost a long. I developed several simple audio utility and helper applications (in C or TCL/Tk) to mesh with audio production using Max. Due to advances in the platform – all of these are basically abandoned as no longer required 🙂
I am currently building audio or MIDI applications using the ChucK language, hosted on Raspberry Pi as generators & building blocks for use in music composition with commercial hardware.
