"I guess I’ve always been interested in the triumvirate of music, mathematics and computer science. But the computer programming and the music were always separate for me until I got to college. In college I took a class with this guy Douglas Repetto, who started Dorkbot, and he basically taught me how to work with microchips and create art or music or whatever it is, around that structure. And all of a sudden things got super, super interesting."
