Happened in a lot of ways for me. Childhood was a mix of science and music. I spent early adulthood on the road as a guitarist. Musical interests matured so I went back to school and got a couple of music degrees. During this time I fell into computing, having been invited to participate in computer music at MIT (and I wasn't even in school there). I've run a lot of new music concerts in all sorts of spaces and even conducted a few times (luckily stopping before anyone was seriously injured). Early engineering years included speech recognition, operating systems design, medical computing. When I came to Lexicon it was a good opportunity to put it all together. I was doing other things there for several years before I had an opportunity to work on the 'verbs and other FX. At this point it's a mix of science, engineering and intuition. And I'm still doing the new music concerts when I can. I suspect most of us are mongrels in one way or another.
