About

I'm currently writing my Master Thesis on modeling of humans' ability to hear out an instrument's line in a song. Ideally also in relation to whether humans are focussing on a specific instrument or not. Why am I doing that? Music fascinates me, most of all playing it myself, while connecting with others through it. It's exciting to work with such an important sound of our lives and to add to the understanding of it. Apart from that I also like to manipulate sounds and percieve what the ear does with them, e.g. through VST-PlugIns, one of which can be found on my GitHub (https://github.com/DeMax199g). In short: I want to understand the ear, while enjoying the magic it does.
