A working studio · est. 2005 · San Francisco
Software, sound & picture-making, live.
I'm Adam Murray — a software engineer who's spent twenty-five years building hobby things at the seam between code, music, and computer graphics. This site is where I record those experiments: web apps, synthesizers, fractals, Max for Live devices, and the occasional written piece about how they came together.
Currently in the workshop
Producer Pal.
A Max for Live device that lets you talk to Ableton Live in plain English. Compose clips, manage tracks, run the transport — all from a chat with Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Mistral, or a local model. It exposes an MCP server and a REST API, and it's open source.
