hi to you all,

johannes zmoelnig invited me to apply for a pd-dev community membership. here i am.

first of all, let me introduce myself: i completed my studies in music technology and sound engineering - holding a masters degree - in 2001. since then i work at the IEM as a lecturer and staff member. my background is in music technology and sound engineering with a strong focus on binaural virtual environments, multi-channel sound reproduction systems, and real-time audio signal processing - with pd - which i applied in numerous scientific projects and live performance situations of contemporary music in europe (supported by the IEM staff members, especially thomas musil, johannes zmoelnig, and winfried ritsch). additionally, i work as a freelance sound designer and "tonmeister". recently, i became a member of the pd~graz community.

due to my phd research the focus shifted towards small aperture sized microphone arrays, low latency denoising algorithms and nonlinear signal processing; however, I simultaneously pursued advancing the IEM's ambisonics approach. i hope to finish my phd work next summer, to spend more time in artistic projects, contemporary music and pd.

anyway, i am not such an experienced code writer as winfried, johannes and thomas are, but i am on the way to polish up my skills in programming pd externals. my welcome package will be an external library for adaptive filtering using least mean square algorithms, also supporting several coefficient constraints; programmed together with thomas recently. therefore, i have a great interest in extending this lib by further adaptive filter algorithms, e.g. least squares or affine projection, next time.

further information about me and my projects you'll find at IEM's website http://iem.at/Members/noisternig

so, i hope to have addressed the relevant criteria you require for my application to become a pd-dev member.

cheers,

markus
