Well, I think I joined the PD list about 18 months ago, but never posted an introduction, because it seemed such a difficult thing, but I'll give it a try...

My background, and primary interest, is in composition and performance using live electronics. I think this can all be traced back to the purchase of a Boss DD-3 delay pedal back in the '80s! I then moved on to hardware synths, and effects, and later CSound and Max (with Max outputting MIDI to CSound - no MSP back then). I did a Bachelor's degree in Sonic Art at Middlesex University in the UK, and then a M.Phil. in Musical Composition at Birmingham University.

Changes in personal circumstances, then caused me to move into a job working in IT/Network support. It was in this period that I discovered Linux. When I returned to studying and composing two years ago, I looked at software in a very different way, and moved straight to PD.

I am currently studying towards a PhD in Music Technology at Birmingham Conservatoire, and also doing some teaching. My main area of research concerns the compositional applications of timbre recognition. I taught myself C from Kernigham and Ritchie so I could write my own PD externals. Since then I have written:

fton - my first external, which calculates note name, octave, and centage deviation from frequency.

flib - a library for extracting various features from an fft

fct~/ifct~ - (inverse) fast cosine transform

dssi~ - A DSSI host for PD.

dssi~ is for a project I am involved in to modernise the works of Jonathan Harvey. Details can be found at www.conservatoire.uce.ac.uk/harvey

My (very out-of-date) website can be found at www.postlude.co.uk, with extracts from some of my pieces, and my externals can currently be found at www.puredata.org/Memebers/jb

That's it really.

All the best to you all!

Jamie

Dear developers,

I am writing to request developer access to the CVS so that I can add my externals to the repository. I understand that there is no formal procedure for this, so I am just putting myself forward! I have written quite a few externals now (currently available at puredata.org), and it seems like the CVS is becoming a central place for these things.

You can decide whether you think I should be added or not, and I'll give you my sourceforge account details as and when.

Jamie

Hallo,

hm, I thought, I'll go on and add Jamie and Piotr to the project now, as there weren't any objections, however then I found, that both of you didn't send any info about your Sourceforge usernames yet (or that I'm too blind to find them.)

Please post your account names, then I'll try to add you as developers

Ciao
