Hi, all. My name is Daniel Swilley. I am a 2nd year DMA composition major. My experience with MAX/Msp is mostly from the stand point of building algorithmic composition tools, and a few FM and grainular instruments... I have a number of years experience with electroacoustic music and have come to feel comfortable with the medium and my capabilities. However, I've never done anything with live processing or interactive performance. I'm looking forward to exploring these things as well as getting to the chance to play again. Trumpet is my primary instrument, but I also play flute. Also, I also have an interest in conducting so perhaps that will translate to some cool experiments with wii controlers governing performance parameters... Time will tell.
