Opening the Surreal Sirkus Arts Festival on 10/24, April & I will bring together original acoustic music and expressive movement. My heartfelt songs weave guitar, Harpejji, and vocals into intimate musical journeys, while April brings the music to life through mesmerizing flow arts, hoop, and dance.

We have a lot of volunteers signed up for helping with the Surreal Sirkus arts festival, but are still looking for a few spots.

RIFE2 1.10.0 is out! Server-sent events, htmx support, CSRF protection, database migrations, and ahead-of-time instrumentation so continuations run without a java agent, even in GraalVM native images. Still one jar, still zero dependencies.

bld 3.0.0 is out! Parallel dependency resolution, BOM support, and an MCP server so AI agents can drive your build. Still one jar, still pure Java.

MIDI Tape Recorder 2.0 is out! MTR now also runs standalone on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with CoreMIDI in and out and autosaved sessions. The tape keeps rolling in the background and with the screen locked.

Touching your thumb to a fingertip plays a note in a scale and releasing it stops the note, turning your palm reaches the rest of the scale, and while a note plays you raise your hand to make it louder, push forward to make it brighter, and move sideways to bend the pitch.

To complement my SendMIDI and ReceiveMIDI tools, I've created RouteMIDI: a multi-platform command-line tool to connect MIDI ports together, optionally filtering, transforming and converting MIDI messages along the way.
