At UC Santa Cruz, I developed new curricula in Music and Artificial Intelligence focussing on critical and historical perspectives in AI and authored a freely available and open-source online text “Music AI Tutorial”.Additionally, I teach courses in Electonic and Computer Music, including topics such as sound synthesis, sound analysis, digital modeling, music information retrieval, music signal processing, audio-visual music, generative music systems, and interactivity.http://davidkantportfolio.com/music-ai-tutorial/

At Magus Instrumentalis, I am engaged in every step of product design, from software engineering and signal processing to UI design, product testing, and prototyping.
