The Guitarist's Introduction to Jazz — Randy Vincent

Book • Current Study

I’m reading this alongside my C++ studies to keep growing my musical ear and understanding of jazz language, phrasing, and improvisation.

I'm working through foundational texts and turning what I learn into practical experiments and field notes. The goal is to become rigorous enough to understand audio systems from first principles and build software that feels musical, useful, and resilient.

Computational Music Synthesis — Sean Luke

Arjun · əɾ.d͡ʒʊn

I'm an aspiring audio software engineer from India focused on digital signal processing, C++, JUCE, computational music synthesis, and game audio.

This website is my public engineering notebook — a place to document what I'm learning, the textbooks I'm studying, and the audio software I'm building.

I'm also drawn to nu-jazz, music production, and exploring how different instruments shape sound, expression, and improvisation.
