Music making is something I'm very interested in and love doing. My major at University of North Texas was music composition for a period. I played violin in orchestra for 7 years, played guitar in several bands for some more years. I also sang in choirs and learned a lot of music theory and done a lot of ear training. I spent a summer at Berklee College of Music in Boston and learned music theory from a totally different perspective. I know a lot about music theory, composition, and instruments and I would love to talk more about it.

I enjoy jamming and improvising, collaborating, live looping in many styles including rock, metal, blues, jazz, and classical. I currently have a few instruments including:

• Fender electric violin
• Ibanez mandolin
• Ibanez electric guitar
• Washburn acoustic guitar
• Korg Kross 88 electric keyboard
• saxophone
• cajon
• flute
• harmonica
• egg shaker

Other relevant things:

• Project: Binaural Audio Generator
• Similarities Between Music and Programming
• I know how to program but don't know what to program.

I have some music online under the name Electropunk Zero and Viomangui. I've lost more compositions than I've kept over the years with old tapes, sheet music, and CDs getting lost.

• Electropunk.net - Some art and electronic music
• Viomangui recordings - Some old YouTube videos of me playing my guitar and loop pedal.

• DAWs
  • LMMS
  • FL Studio (FruityLoops)
  • FL Studio Mobile
  • Renoise for chiptune
• Audacity - Audio editing

Akai MPK mini is a great one. Korg Kross 88 is another great one. You can use Arduinos to make custom instruments. See the NeoTrellis and others.
