Speaker - Timmy James Barnett

Timmy James Barnett is passionate about the philosophy of FLO (Free/Libre/Open) software. He is happy to be using GNU/Linux and FLO software he wrote for his performances with GNU/Linux Loves All and !mindparade. He loves to tell others about his great experiences with FLO software. Timmy's music is inspired by FLO technologies including GNU/Linux, Matthew Autry's skip-fretting, and Kite guitar. These technologies have connected him with older notes that have been covered up by modern standard tuning. Rather than being limited to just one tuning, Timmy's music is inspired by both the harmonic series and various edos beyond just 12edo (known as standard tuning). He finds a unique sound from the intersection between ancient tuning theory, modern music technology, and a FLO philosophy.
