Introduction

Frenos et frusta is Latin for bits and pieces. To understand the title of this blog, a little background might be useful. In my early days of composing computer music and software development I went by the moniker 'bitsmart.' bitsmart was a play on the concept of bitwise operators in programming (NOT, AND, OR, and XOR). In keeping with the computer music and software development scope of bitsmart, I am starting this blog to explore the current state of computer music and software development, and where the two meet in the middle.
