"In music circles I was frequently the only one who would dare to try to fix the computer/music equipment we were using when it was misbehaving. So I started to develop a knack. The knack turned into a job in a computer/music lab, which led to a position doing computer/music programming when I was in graduate school, which let to a job doing general computer support, etc. in the school of music. By this time my computer experience had expanded far beyond the realm of music, and .... well, there are just more jobs for computer geeks than there are for music theorists! Couple this with an acquired distaste for the academic music scene, and I realized I might be just as happy making music on my own time and doing computers as a profession." (1996)
