Oh, well.. you asked!
I was born in a mid summer night in 1975 here in Livorno, a city near Pisa and Florence, in Tuscany, Italy. I studied piano when I was a boy, then classical guitar. After the high school I studied saxophone at the city's conservatory "Istituto Pareggiato P. Mascagni" (Pietro Mascagni, the one from Cavalleria Rusticana). I graduated in saxophon but I can't say I'm fond of playing any particular instrument (I can play piano, flute, baroque flute, classical guitar, electric one, bass, percussion, very little bit of violin.. I'd learn cello if I had money to buy one) nor I am really good in any.. I begun composing at the age of 15, singing in rock band but I never felt comfortable with it, so I begun playing music for theatre and dance shows.. That amused me a lot. At the age of 24 I realized I could not live only writing music so I took a degree at the univerisy of Pisa in "Informatica" (software developing) and started working as software developer in a little (very little) company I created with a friend (www.parser.it). We do whatever comes to us: from simple internet sites to complex distribuited (desktop/web) applications. My works are mostly in C# and C++ when I have enough time... I am happy when I can work on linux. In the past 3 years I put composition aside (and worked a lot) but last summer I relized that software developing and composition don't have to be separate.. so I begun my way with csound, I was mainly interested in slowing down the timeline and focus on those sounds we hear but cannot listen because they're too short. I passed from csound to pd some month ago becouse I want to use my pc as an instrument, I am interested in realtime. My first pd patch was a porting of a nice csound synth, The second was a karplus strong resonant filter (well, I must admit I only followed Derek Holzer's cues..) My first external (the one I'm asking cvs access for) is nn, now renamed ann_mlp: Multi layer Perceptron Neural Networks I am now working on ann_tdnn : Time Delay Neural Networks (for gesture recognition) both of them using FANN.
composers I love: microsounders, steve reich, p. glass chet baker, miles, coltrane debussy, ravel, etc.. bach, mozart, etc.. reinassance music medieval music

PS. my first computer was a ZX Spectrum (how I love that little piece of cake), when I was 10 I built my first 2 programs: 1 - a matematical functions visualizer (simple functions) 2 - a little sequencer (obviously not polyphonic) .. funny: at the age of 30 I'm finally doing the same things I was doing when I was 10!

No objections, but an introduction would be nice. Maybe that should be the requirement of being added to the project. The proposed member should write a little intro about themselves. There are so many new people these days, I've lost track of who's who.
yes i think that is a good point. all developers at the CVS should be subscribed to pd-dev
and new developers should make them known somehow (i don't have problems with totally new people, but it makes the community feeling somewhat stronger)
so davide, please introduce yourself ;-)
