 My real name is Michael Markert and I live in Nuremberg, Germany. I studied Communications-Design focused on Multimedia and am currently doing a postgraduated diploma at the College of Fine Arts in Nuremberg (Public Arts, Intermedia). The focus of my work and research is the development of intuitive interactive interfaces for harmonized sensory music. While I'm using these interfaces with my Band to make music, I'm also using it for sonic installations. The focus there is not that the artpiece is the electronics itself, but rather the people using it. I like to force users to behave in some way to generate music, which feeds back to their bodylanguage. It's fascinating to see (and hear) how different each individual is behaving when it comes to audible senses... My real name is Michael Markert and I live in Nuremberg, Germany.

 While the only MBHP project I've built so far is an Midibox FM (OPL module) -- which is unfortunately doing nothing atm except getting too hot :( -- I am using self-developed MIOS-based applications for new Midiboxes most of the time; like the Sensorizer or the SpeakJet MIDI Application Interface... While the only MBHP project I've built so far is an Midibox FM (OPL module) -- which is unfortunately doing nothing atm except getting too hot :( -- I am using self-developed MIOS-based applications for new Midiboxes most of the time; like the Sensorizer or the SpeakJet MIDI Application Interface...

 +The [[ACSensorizer]] is the project I wrote about 5 years, first in Lingo on Macromedia Director (slow & expensive), then in Objective-C using the Cocoa framework (fast but overfeatured,​ plug & pray) and finally I spent 2 years developing the software I'm most proud of: The ACSensorizer for the MBHP platform (fast, relyable, plug & play). The sensorizer is working very stable since then and has a bunch of absolutely cool features like bpm synching, harmonisation and quanisation - of course it's main purpose is reading sensor data that cannot deliver values exactly from 0 to 5 V.
