Recently what I've been most interested in is creating new audio spaces for performers, by developing powerful but easy-to-control software that instrumentalists can use without extensive computer skills or training. The idea is to enhance the capabilities of the instrument, rather than depart completely from the skill base a performer has developed over years of practice.

I'm also working on some projects that could become products, and some others that could evolve nicely into interactive multimedia art installations. See "tech" for more details on these— and updates as I continue developing these ideas.
