Hi! I’m Daniel, aka @danferns and @thepianodan.

Our world is a fascinating one, and I love to learn from it. I’m writing How Machines Learn to make a growing field widely accessible using interactive learning.

I also make electronic music, and often find myself building creative tools of all kinds.

MIDI FX makes it a breeze to transform MIDI in realtime, it was presented at the Audio Developer Conference. The probability of a more powerful sequel is non-zero!

Harmonic mixing turns two songs into one seamlessly beautiful track. I’m continuing my work from Google Summer of Code 2024 with the force of a thriving community to make Mixxx DJ one of the best DJ apps for harmonic mixing.

If you like to write in Obsidian, you can search for rhymes, synonyms and describing words using WordCraft. And if you’re fighting the battle of perfectionism, maybe have digital paper on your side?

“I think of how to better the lives of thousands of souls, of being successful in giving people their own power of strength and wisdom. The satisfaction this gives is beyond words.

“The success I have found in helping people to help themselves is a success that no one can destroy.”
