Cycling '74 makes Max, the premier graphical programming environment for media, helping artists and musicians build their own software.

"Beyond the designs that we ended up implementing, Geoff left us with a large set of observations, concepts, and practices that transformed our organization for the better."
-David Zicarelli
CEO, Cycling ’74

Max is a visual coding environment. Modular code objects manipulate audio, video, and data, and can be patched together to create complex programs.

During my time at C'74 we made usability a primary focus of our development of Max 7. We also released Mira, a zero-config iOS controller for Max, and a new version of Max For Live, our plugin authoring platform for Ableton Live.

From running usability tests to the formation of the Product Design team, I helped develop UX theory and practice throughout the company, making user research, prototyping, and iterative design a fundamental part of how C'74 builds software.

The WJ Perry foundation wants to create a new generation of activists to fight nuclear proliferation.

Former US Secretary of Defense William Perry founded this organization to raise awareness about the threat of nuclear weapons. I designed and deployed their homepage, and developed designs for educational materials to help engage a new generation of activists through interactive media.

Working with Futurefarmers had a deep influence in my ongoing interests in art, technology, and community.

From their website:

Futurefarmers is a group of diverse practitioners aligned through an interest in making work that is relevant to the time and place surrounding us. Founded in 1995, the design studio serves as a platform to support art projects, an artist in residence program and our research interests. We are artists, researchers, designers, architects, scientists and farmers with a common interest in creating frameworks for exchange that catalyze moments of "not knowing".

I acted as project manager and web developer for the award winning project TransportationTown, which was featured in the MOMA's Interaction Design exhibit, Talk to Me.

I worked with Envelop to develop a UI for their immersive audio platform. This interface allows musicians to create three dimensional compositions for ambisonic performance.

The foundation of ENVELOP’s technology is Ambisonics, an innovative open source sound mapping technique. Using Ambisonics, artists determine a virtual location in space where they want to place a sound source, which is then rendered to a spherical array of speakers. ENVELOP is 28.4 channel Ambisonic sound system can position and move sound elements above, below, in front of, behind, and completely around an audience. A high-fidelity video projection system and LED lights embedded within the ENVELOP columns can be controlled in unison with audio to build synchronized audio/visual compositions.

ENVELOP's Kickstarter campaign successfully funded the fabrication and installation of the ambisonic environment at the new media performance center, The Midway, which opened in Summer 2015 in San Francisco. If you'd like to get involved, check out the github repo.

Afield is a timecapsule, a way of connecting to places you've left behind, a method of digitourism, and a means of collapsing physical distance.

Afield is a mobile app for creating shared auditory/ambulatory experiences. It’s like a sonic scavenger hunt where you follow your ears instead of a map. If you’re lucky, you’ll get well and truly lost in the process.

Make geotagged field recordings on your mobile device, and share them as a SonicWalk. Take a SonicWalk, and those recordings become audible beacons that you can follow as you explore your city, town, or countryside…

Afield is under development. Check out the development blog at sonicwalk.tumblr.com

One fateful night at the kitchen table, I created a new game. Now I want to teach the world to Citroll!

Citroll is many things. A sport, an artform, a way of life...and an experiment in crowdsourcing, community engagement, design. Citroll founders mufflepult, hardtoremember and I have created twitter feeds, blogs, and even Amazon Turk campaigns to spread the word and teach the world to Citroll.

All you need are a citroll ball, a citroll paddle, and a flat surface. Just roll the citroll ball onto your paddle, and lift off. That's the basic citroll, but the variations are endless...you try it!

Upload a video of yourself playing citroll and be a part of what will surely be the next big thing on the internet.

I created a record label for showcasing experimental and ambient music, called Bunkerdays.

Bunkerdays pulls together many of the musical projects I've been involved in over the years, including ambient, experimental, folk, and electronic music.
