Damn... Melinda was meant to let me get my intro out first... :)


I guess I don't really consider myself an artist in the sense that people on
this list seem to. I'm a musician, heavily involved in realtime apps like
Reaktor and Max/MSP, as well as more traditional soft/hard synths/machines.

A quick background would have to mention that I floated around at uni
between full and partime study, almost finishing an astrophysics degree,
then almost finishing a philosophy degree. Having been heavily into
computing since my Apple II/Spectrum days, and being utterly broke... I
drifted into computing, and seem to have found a niche working with artists,
primarily being the sysadmin here at CoFA.

I really enjoy working as a technical assistant on tech-art projects, esp
online stuff, with the most recent being Anna Munster's Wundernet project at
http://wundernet.cofa.unsw.edu.au


After June I'll be hunting around for something else interesting to sink my
teeth into...


Too-roo.
