My name is Colin Sullivan, I am currently in my third year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute pursuing a degree in Computer Science. I am interested in developing innovative web and audio technology, and enjoy experimenting with the intersection of technology and art.
For the past two years I have been developing web applications for companies, and experimenting with real-time audio programming languages such as ChucK and Max/MSP. Before that I was working in Video Production, mainly doing sound design, sound recording, and video editing. You can find more detailed information about these projects on my work page.
I have also been experimenting with new audio technologies, and making some of my own music. This semester I am working on an interactive composition which involves Max/MSP.
I play bass guitar, and am currently in a band called [ ]. We think we might get some time soon to actually produce our songs.
If you are interested, here is my resume.
