This is most definitely not a bike

The Personal Website of Mark Conway Wirt

I created this site to document some random projects I've worked on over the past few years. It's mostly music and math stuff, but I may be adding other types of things soon (I have a big backlog, and sometimes writing documentation isn't as fun as doing the work).

The music tends towards the generative and algorithmic, and the math is largely aesthetic.
