Jóhannes Stefánsson deals with sound via creative coding and electronics, etc etc.

I'm currently studying Sonology at the Royal Conservatoire, having recently migrated over from New Media Composition at the University of the Arts, Iceland. I studied electro- and mechatronics before university, gaining a great toolset for tackling various kinds of electronics projects. Since then I have continued to work with platforms such as Arduino, teaching for a bit, and collaborating with other artists on projects. I find Arduino especially useful as I am now decently familiar with C, and learning new languages such as Python as of recent has been a pretty smooth ride. Recently I've been doing some commissions as well, which brings in some income, which is always nice.

Recently I've been quite interested in techniques of and inspired by the nonstandard synthesis of the 70's and onwards, as well as exploring creative control mapping approaches to perhaps give new dimensions of expression to an end user like a performer.
