Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Tech
Music Technologist
- In this garden, Music Technologist pages model a real person who makes technology for music: instruments, synthesis methods, music software and programming languages, plugins and devices, and the hardware or firmware music runs on. A Music Technologist is a kind of Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker whose field is music, and the rest follows that page.
What counts as an instance
- A person whose music technology is a significant part of their public identity: the author of a music programming language (Person/James McCartney and SuperCollider), the inventor of a synthesis method (Person/John Chowning and FM synthesis), or a developer of tools for a music application (Person/Leo Bernard).
- Instrument builders count, from acoustic instruments to synthesizers.
- A Music Technologist is a maker of technology. A person who also makes music carries the kind of Musician that names their role as well, or Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music when the role is unknown.
Boundary cases
- A person who programs patches or builds systems only for their own pieces leaves Music Technologist out: Person/Huichun Yang carries Sound Artist and Performer, and Person/Wei Yang carries Sound Artist and Composer. Music Technologist is for technology other musicians use: a language, a synthesis method, or a plugin, device or instrument other people play, such as Person/Tobias Hunke's Max for Live devices.
- A live coder who also builds the language or software live coders perform with carries Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Performance and Music Technologist.
- A researcher who publishes about music technology without building it carries only the entities for what else they make, or stays a Logseq/Entity/Person.
Works
- A software project, device or instrument the person made has its own page with
created-by:: linking the hub. Software follows Logseq/Entity/Software/Project.
