My name is Brian Whitman. I am a lapsed scientist and sound artist currently co-founder/CTO at The Echo Nest, a music intelligence company in Somerville, MA. As I work on various scaling and media search problems with detours into art projects I'll be posting details here in the hopes that I can learn from others. I'd always like to hear from you if you are working on similar things.
