He has been a long-term denizen of the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (Stanford University) where he is the center's director and teaches computer music courses. Three year-long periods have been spent at IRCAM, Paris, and The Banff Centre making music and developing methods for computer sound synthesis. The SoundWIRE project launched in 2000 involves real-time Internet concertizing with collaborators the world over.
