My older work is mostly MIDI based, 99% composed with a mouse by clicking notes onto a digital score. My newer work is more mixed-media, including both fairly standard MIDI work as well as recorded sections from acoustic and electric instruments.
Band/artist history
I have been a composer since early childhood, initially starting on piano, then moving to classical guitar and other "classical" instruments before discovering MIDI. Since then, I have composed largely elecronic styles incoperating aspects of world, orchestral, and jazz music forms.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I have played live, but only rarely. Most of the pieces I compose at this point are unperformable, although I do still compose for classical guitar and piano, but I'm not fond of performing with either of those.
Your musical influences
My electronic music has been influenced by people like Mike Oldfield, as well as being influenced by non-Western styles.
What equipment do you use?
Currently I use an M-Audio C400, Korg nano series controllers, a QuNexus controller, Sonar X2, various small analog synths, and a theremin. I also use the Euterpea package for sound synthesis in Haskell. For my older works, I used an Audigy2 ZS soundcard, an Alesis QS8 keyboard, Midisoft Recording session (the version made prior to 2000) and a mouse.
Anything else?
I am currently a PhD student in Yale's Computer Science department, where my research has taken a computer music turn in the last two years. My work can be found here:

Expressive delivery of your music…loved the intro. Nice feel throughout. Enjoyed.
i'd love to know how you built this. live? euterpea? physical model of piano? just midi? (thru what?) this piece is great fun and very playable by humans. it would be interesting to compare levels of abstraction of descriptions of the start, the most abstract being, i guess, just the text "fake you err trying to play martelinhos; retry, always erring" (martelinhos = portuguese name of the toy song, i don't recall the english name now)
Oh, quite like this one Donya
Very nice, Have not heard everything but I will. What music software do you use? Compositions can take you places where most music never goes. Barry
