I am a composer music-theorist, lexicographer, author, software developer, teacher, performer, arranger, artist, cartographer, locksmith, bicyclist, motorcyclist, and pacifist.

Since 1984, my main interest has been microtonal and just-intonation music theory and its application on computers. In 2003 i co-founded Tonalsoft with my partner Chris Wittmann, initially for the purpose of producing our Tonescape microtonal music composition software.

Some other things I'm interested in: languages, writing systems, history, philosophy, religions and mythologies, astronomy and cosmology.

I'm available in Southern California, at your home, for private music lessons in theory, composition, conducting, woodwinds (clarinet, sax, oboe, bassoon, recorder), piano/keyboard, MIDI sequencing, and (of course) tuning theory, and tutoring on the computer in Cakewalk, Finale, Microsoft Excel, and Linux.

If you live in or visit San Diego and would like to meet, contact me to set up a get-together.
