I'm a harpsichordist and organist obsessed with the music, the composers, and the history behind it all of the baroque era. The field of music I'm in is known as "historically informed performance practice" (HIPP) which basically means we throw out all the modern instruments and their conveniences and start over with the older instruments and try to play them way musicians of the past use to play them. It sounds really different than what you might be use to. I'm also working on being a composer and an improviser. Currently, I'm studying modal counterpoint and thoroughbass improvisation.
I've studied a little computer programming. Learned html, css, java, and a little bit of Objective-C and a smidgin of AppleScript, and had a few classes that covered visual basic, php, Javascript, Ruby on Rails, and Oracle. I'm not a programmer though. Music is my passion. When it comes to computers, I'm much more interested in UI design than the technical mechanics behind applications. Someday, I'd like to study it again to make little practical desktop and mobile applications. When I was younger I was a huge geek about computers and thought I was going to be some big wig programmer in a hot start up company by now but I like music too much. During ages 8 through 12, TechTV was my favorite tv channel. I got Patrick Norton and Martin Sargent's (from The Screensavers) autographs when they visited my city once when I was 11. It's framed sitting on my desk today.
I enjoy what I do.
