Hello there! I'm Bad Diode. I'm a musician and programmer that enjoys sharing my knowledge, creating music toys, and working on esoteric tools and programming languages. On my website I write a number of publicly available notes in whichever topic I'm researching at the time. Many people find my music theory notes particularly helpful.

Your donations here will move me closer to my goal of doing this kind of work full time. If you want to find additional ways of supporting me, you can check the support page on my website.
