Richard Horner’s Summary
I'm an open source systems engineer, concert music composer and electric guitar virtuoso.
I studied at The University of Washington, Berklee College of Music and The Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University with John Bavicchi, Michael Hersch, Libby Larsen, Joe Stump, Christopher Theofanidis, Chen Yi, Rimli Sengupta, Yakov Gubanov, Paul Matthews, Jeff Dorenfeld, Anna Celenza, Mark Shilansky, James Russell Smith, Ben Newhouse and Kevin Kaska.
I graduated from Berklee with highest honors (summa cum laude) and completed three master's degrees in the span of only two years at Johns Hopkins.
As an engineer, my specialties are in Linux, ecommerce, security, monitoring, low latency systems, signal processing, C, PHP and shell programming.
As a composer and electric guitarist, I have completed several hours of recorded music. I play several Roger Gresco handmade custom American Master guitars and use Dunlop Wahs and VHT power amplification exclusively.
My goals are to reshape and revitalize concert music among the living and to make computing easier, safer and more sensible for everyone through open standards, open source code and open auditing.

Studies with Dr. Christopher Theofanidis, Michael Hersch and Dr. Geoff Wright. I completed 81 graduate credits in the same two years that normal composition majors are expected to complete 36 credits. The department chair denied my request to also pursue the master's degree in computer music performance. I completed all the necessary coursework and gave the required recitals but did not receive this third degree.
