Michael’s ‘SoundMagic Spectral’ suite of real-time FFT-based AudioUnit plug-ins has been used extensively in both industry and academia worldwide, including by artists such as Aphex Twin and Brian Eno as well as in feature film soundtracks and sound design. Michael's other interests include audio spatialisation, network audio, and computer-aided musicianship and theory tools. His projects include:
- spindrift~: a multichannel granular synthesis external for Max/MSP with automated spatial trajectories
- au~: an external for Max/MSP for hosting AudioUnits
- multipeer~: a set of externals for implementing zero-configuration, multipeer connectivity between Macs running Max/MSP
- a set of Sibelius scripts for generating various pitch-class set rotations
- EarConditioner: a computer-aided musicianship program
