Jnana
“Jnana” is a generative musical accompaniment system integrated into Ableton Live.
I am pursuing a Master’s degree from Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, scheduled to complete in the Spring of 2012. Below is information about my work during my time here.
I like to build software that inspires myself and others to be creative.

KnacK is a music composition framework for the ChucK programming language. It encourages organization of components in a standard way, enabling easier re-use in later projects.
“tulpasynth” is a collaborative music system that enables a group of people to spontaneously create together by manipulating a physics-based environment on a touchscreen interface.
I like to explore algorithmic music generation and sound synthesis.sounds
