There’s a new OMI Synth Jam recording up here. Thanks to Mark for recording the sessions and uploading them! If you are interested in finding out about Synth Jams *before* they happen, hit the Subscribe tab and drop your email. You will only be alerted when new content is created or when a new event…
I created a page here for recordings I’m making with SuperCollider and the OP-1 synthesizer. These recordings explore using SC3 only as a parameter generator of MIDI information (notes, CC messages, etc) and the OP-1 as synthesizer.
This will be a quick post about my recent practice making electronic and computer music. My creative process has always been… complicated. A contributing factor may be that I rarely reuse compositional systems or take on projects that closely resemble previous ones. I have diverse and varied interests so there’s always something pulling me away…
This first installment of my algorithms project has one primary goal, to automate as much as possible the creation of spectrogram files for use online and in teaching materials. For this and for all future posts I will upload the source files (only my original code and none of the artifacts of running said code)…
As I stare at the beginning of another Summer, this time with a toddler and a pandemic both raging nearby, I have set a few goals which I’m attempting to line up so they inform and help fulfill each other. First, don’t get COVID 19. Second, the rest. Here’s some of it. I will create…

It’s been so long since I’ve posted here or updated this site I almost forgot how the WP back-end works, yikes! I hereby acknowledge I have been remiss and offer a formal mea culpa. I have projects and experiments on my desk that warrant a post or three, some musical discoveries, and lots of news…
As Ethan and I await the arrival of components necessary to embark on our spring reverberation tests, we pass the time by winding inductor coils and playing with magnetic fields.
To the fledgling electronics enthusiast who has just enough knowledge of electronic music theory to be dangerous, it makes sense that the simplest tone, the sine tone, should be the simplest/easiest to construct in the analog electronics domain. Of course, this is not the case. While geometrically simple to describe, the sine tone is not…
I am really excited to be teaching a series of open source software and hardware workshops this year at Yale as part of a new initiative we started called the Open Music Initiative. The aim of the initiative is to indoctrinat… er, expose faculty and students to the merits of FLOSS and open source hardware via workshops wherein…
