I was very happy to be featured recently on the official SL music blog. Thanks so much to Jesse Linden!

Hi there ! My name is Robert Thomas, and I'm a composer interested in unusual ways music can become a soundtrack to your life. I run a small music company called Dizzy Banjo. I also go under the name Dizzy Banjo in numerous social networks and environments.
I've done a lot of work creating music for unusual places, including virtual spaces, video games and mobile devices.
My work has explored numerous ways of tracking user behaviour and making music reactive to it, including VOIP, gestures and keystrokes, physical movement and activity patterns of individuals and groups.
At the moment I am working on a number of projects, but spending a lot of time as a reactive music composer with :
RjDj is an amazing iPhone application which creates mind twisting hearing sensations by weaving your environment into reactive music. Voices, cars, your walking speed.. these and many other things can be used to shape your experience. If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, try it!
