Speaker - Timmy James Barnett

Timmy James Barnett is a musician and FLO software/hardware developer. He studied violin with Anna Vayman at Ball State University for 6 years, where he received his BM and MM. His original music is inspired by microtonality and Free Software. He plays microtonal music on violin, variously fretted guitars, keyboards and computers. Free Software is important because it makes microtonality and music in general more accessible to all without compromising Human Tech Rights. It allows musical exploration without arbitrary boundaries. Timmy writes and uses Free Software for live performance with !mindparade and GNU/Linux Loves All.
