IBM: Extreme Blue Internship
This summer I will be interning at IBM in Austin, TX. I will be part of the Extreme Blue team of interns, working for IBM’s Emerging Technologies division on a project called Big Sheets. I will be doing mostly JavaScript interface work, and am looking forward to the experience. Over the summer I’ll write as much as I am legally able to about my time at IBM.

This semester, for “Interactive Arts Programming” class, I will be making an interactive composition based on the Fibonacci sequence. The piece will involve me playing the bass line of my composition, while a computer takes my performance as input and generates algorithmically determined accompaniments.
