Everything else
Other projects
The scores are on the works page. This is the rest: the products, the instruments built to make the music, the research, and the small sites that exist for no good reason.
Products
Things other people use.
-
An original-music platform and iOS app built for dance teachers and performers.
- Maestro Move In development
An instrument for playing class music live, built on the same audio engine.
-
A macOS app for organising and auditioning large sample libraries.
Instruments & tools
Built for the studio and the rehearsal room, mostly for an audience of one.
- Looping rig MIT licensed
A live looping setup for Ableton Live with an iPad control surface.
- maestro-core
The Rust audio engine behind both Maestro apps: seamless loops, tempo change without pitch change, stems, and beat-locked switching.
- AudioWave
A macOS Quick Look extension that previews an audio file as a scrubbable waveform.
- Autosampler
Batch-renders sampler instruments into labelled WAVs for use anywhere.
- Instrument Mapper
A small utility that indexes instrument presets into JSON.
Research
Open questions, pursued in code.
- Musical perception Private
An ongoing investigation into whether a machine can accompany a dance class: watch the room, follow the teacher, and play in time.
Ben's dumb side projects
Small sites built alongside the music work. No theme, no roadmap.
