Inventor, music instrument builder and measurement maniac, currently spending his time developing a musical instrument (the Striso) and putting sensors in anything interesting to measure. Furthermore interested in nature, self sufficient living and geodata. Can't resist to always keep improving the tools he uses, one of the reasons to love open source software and hardware.

The Striso is an electronic instrument combining this layout with pressure and direction sensitive buttons, giving an enormous range of musical expression.

The code can be found at https://github.com/pierstitus/klondiff and integrates well with git.
