            </h1class>Micah Frank</h2>

          <img src="img/keynote/MicahFrank.jpg" alt="Micah Frank" style="width: 300px; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; object-fit: cover;">

          <p>Micah Frank is an electronic artist, composer, and instrument maker working across sound sculpture, live
            performance, and music
            technology. Drawing on algorithmic and generative methods, his pieces emerge from field recordings, bespoke
            software,
            and real-time synthesis. He has performed internationally for over two decades.</p>

          <p>Since founding Puremagnetik in 2006, Frank has directed the Brooklyn-based label’s development of
            experimental musical instruments,
            hardware devices, and sound design platforms, many built around the Csound audio programming language.</p>

          <p>His collaborative work includes the ensemble LARUM, which explores contemporary reinterpretations of
            classical material through
            live performance, as well as VONDISY, a project with Kodomo inspired by 1980s cinema soundtracks and early
            industrial music aesthetics.</p>

          <p>Frank studied jazz performance at Mannes School of Music and The New School. Early work in sound design led
            to freelance collaborations
            with Ableton and Native Instruments, before he went on to lead sound content development at Ableton’s Berlin
            office from 2013 to 2015.</p>

          <h2 class="sec-title2">
            </h1class>Jeanette Claassen</h2>

          <img src="img/keynote/jeanette_c.jpg" alt="Jeanette Claassen" style="width: 300px; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; object-fit: cover;">

          <p>Jeanette Claassen is a student of computer science and electrical engineering
          at the university of Paderborn, Germany. Her focus is on accessibility.</p>

          <p>She has been an active member of the Csound community for several years, where
          she is known for her practical user defined opcodes (UDOs) for mainstream and
          pop applications as well as HRTF based binaural spatialisation and eclectic physical
          and semi-physical models and pure sound-alikes.</p>

          <p>Her Csound based music utilises HRTF to create 3d scenes on the border between
          concrete reality and abstract imagery. She also regularly employs live or
          sampled Csound instruments in more typical pop, electro and other music.</p>

          <p>Outside of Csound, Jeanette is a long standing member of the Linux Audio
          community, relying soely on the Linux commandline to produce music spanning
          pop, electro, rock and baroque.</p>

          <p>The uniting theme in all her sound and music work is the love of sound design,
          especially based on pure synthesis. For this she uses all available tools,
          hard- and software, employing a wide variety of techniques.</p>
