This is my studio bench: a public set of notebooks, kits, field notes, and working systems for learning in the open. The repos here turn experiments into repeatable practice and usable artifacts without pretending they arrive immaculate. Some are instruments, some are classrooms, some are infrastructure; all of them are meant to be opened, tested, adapted, and carried forward.
This is not a polished product site, a corporate knowledge base, or a shrine to process for its own sake. It is half workshop wall, half teaching guide: practical, documented, a little messy, and built to be picked up. If you want novelty for novelty’s sake, there are louder corners of the internet. If you want utility with some radical honesty, welcome.
Playful rigor • Open hardware • Repair culture
Humans first • least data • consent by design

There is a lot on this bench. These are six ways into the work; a sketch can stay a sketch, and a teaching example does not need to become a product.
| Part of the practice | Start here |
|---|---|
| Sound and instruments | SeedBox, Horizon, tms-lib |
| Performance and control | MOARkNOBS-42, live-rig, live-rig-control |
| Visual, spatial, and material work | DSP Form Lab, MSVP, perceptual-drift |
| Teaching and learning | Syllabus, ClassHub, ART215, gitExample |
| Studio infrastructure and care | machine-docs, repair-studio, homeauto |
| Research, memory, and publishing | Practice archive and public site, loose code notes |
Repos have different jobs: projects, supporting tools, sketchbooks, study references, and documentation. Some are prototypes; some are teaching material or borrowed code kept for study. Each repo’s README carries its current limits and context.
