L'auteur - Dave Phillips

A performing musician for over 30 years, Dave Phillips became interested in computers as a means for playing, editing, and recording music. He is an expert in MIDI, Csound, and Linux. He later learned how to program the so-called waveform compiler known as Csound, and today still codes using MIDI programming languages, Csound, and most recently cmix. He maintains several educational Web sites on these topics including the Linux MIDI and Sound Applications Page. An avid practitioner of t'ai chi, he also enjoys reading classical and medieval Latin for fun.
