My family and I ~~are living~~ near Hamburg, Germany. I am an engineer and a an amateur musician. Years ago I started some private research to find out, why the octave has historically been divided into twelve chunks of more or less the same size ~~– so~~ I entered the field of partials, temperament and dynamic intonation.

Working with chords built from [[Overtone scales|Overtone Scales]] has always been one of my favorite playing fields. I utilize [http://nosuch.com/tjt/ Tim Thompson’s] ''KeyKit'' – a ~~light weight and~~ MIDI-centric programming language – for practical exploration. KeyKit realtime code controls the intonation of two prototypical electronic instruments I built: A keyboard-driven setup and a playing console that extends the concept of a pedalsteel guitar.
