I should have filled this out ages ago but always forgot to ;-)
Anyway I live in the UK and am currently a 32 year old PhD student at Lancaster University researching mobile computers. Another thing I like doing is programming MIDI apps, esp the next generation ones that will harness the power of networks and allow collaboration over the internet to take place.
I did a prototype of a program that allowed users to particiapte in on-line MIDI jamming where people from all over the world could participate.. main problem is delay of course but I gained a lot of info from that which I believe people could still find useful... can't say too much here of course!
My musical tastes are jazz, jazz and jazz... oh and a bit of soul. :-)
Keyboard Heroes:
Joanne Grauer, Eddie Russ, Herbie Hancock, Dieter Reith, Joachim Kuhn, Chick Corea, early George Duke.. (Inner Source, Faces in Reflection...what a monster!), Stevie Wonder, Freddie Mercury and all the old 70s piano guys...
Current gear... RD300s (at least until Friday), a Korg SG Rack (yuk!), a Yamaha SY35 (used as a controller for SB Live Card)..
Used to have a rhodes until I went to uni and got into debt... had to sell it..(now thats painful..)
Wanting to get new gear over the next few months such as perhaps the Roland FP-3, EMU Sampler, and the Korg DR1600 along with some other tasty bits of kit..
Peace
Neil
