1993 - 1995

Educator, Odense Tekniske Skole (EAL)

I started up the education that later turned into the country wide Academy Profession Programme (AP) in Media and Communication “Multimedia Designer”. Especially the first six months was a lot of fun as I was the only teacher in all classes. Except 3D graphics.

In the beginning the education was geared towards CD-Rom solutions in Macromedia Director. But in 1994 when the web started taking off it headed towards web based solutions.

I taught

Planning and implementing interactive new media projects
Interactive and linear storytelling
Using the tools for new media development

I took classes in

1988 - 1993

Artist, musician, public influencer, author, director and more

I played electronic music, wrote articles, short stories, released records, gave public speeches, played concerts and produced music for others. Debated in the media about technology and the future. Especially about the term “cyberpunk” which I was the one to introduce in Denmark as the first person. In the magazine “Techno Target”

That period was very project oriented and there was a lot of overlap in the time periods. Which is why it is all listed a bit helter skelter.

Typical Tools

Cubase, Atari ST
Wordperfect
Misc. cameras, synthesizers, samplers, smoke machines, fireworks and blinking lights.

Max M Corporation

The largest artistic project I made in that period was “Max M Corporation”. A trilogy with three separate parts. My idea was to show that, for the first time, it was possible for a single person to make all the elements of such a wide ranging project on his own. Due to the technological development.

It was all in the scifi genre called cyberpunk. The three elements were:

A self produced music CD
A CD ROM with a graphical novel made with a combination of 3D graphics and photoshopped photographs.
A scifi novel published by the renowned Danish publisher “Borgen”.

The graphic novel was a prequel to the novel. The music took place in the same universe. It was the soundtrack to the book and the graphic novel.

Billedfabrikken

Billedfabrikken was a media collective in Odense of which I was a part. We built a local TV station from scratch. We did absolutely everything our selves, like building the actual rooms, installing the technology and making all the content and TV shows.

I was a host on some of the shows and a producer on other.

Technician on Radio 49 in Odense

I was a technician/DJ on a local radio station.

Sound Engineer

Mainly in the weekends I worked professionally as a sound technician at “Rytmeposten”. The largest musical venue in Odense at the time. I did the front room sound for bands in all genres in that period.

Social worker/technician on "Radio Volls Voice".

It was a social experiment for young people in Vollsmose with social problems. It took the better part of a year. I had the responsibility for building the studio. Everything from building the sound proofed rooms over installing and buying the technology for making radio shows to recording and editing the content.

Taught synthesizers and electronic music production

“Musikbiblioteket” in Odense had one of the most advanced electronic sound studios in Denmark. But only few people knew how to use the instruments, so i taught classes for the public.

Taught at youth schools

I taught nice young people in Odense, Middelfart and Fåborg in as diverse subjects as Splatter movies and special effect for video. Hip hop and electronic music.

Author

I wrote articles, poems, short stories for different publications and magazines like, Technotarget (about technological youth culture), MidiMag (about music technology), Press and Vinden (Culture magazines).

Video Music

Background music for different video projects.

Music videoes

For my own music and other bands. Notably for "Dr. Baker" and their international hits "Kaos” and "Reality"

“Fortæl med Billeder” (Tell with pictures)

An educational video about how to tell stories with moving pictures. For use in ground schools and high schools. The video was sold via post orders.

“Dom eller Fordom?” (Judged or prejudiced?)

Producer and director of a 30 minute documentary about socially about socially disadvantaged youth. Financed by Socialministeriet (The Ministry of Social affairs). The video was used for teaching in the public school system.

Chilirom

The first Danish CD-Rom magazine. A production ordered by the Danish youth magazine “Chili”. It was a monthly multimedia version of their magazine, which was sold in kiosks. I implemented the technology in Macromedia Director. I also did some of the journalistic multimedia content.

2000 – now

Open Source developer

Active open source projects.

python icalendar (https://github.com/collective/icalendar))
- I wrote the first versions. Maintenance has been passed to a collective of programmers. It is available on pypi and has been active for 15+ years. Is available on all the major Linux Distributions.
Python Midi Package (https://github.com/maxmcorp/mxm.midifile)
- The Python Midi package is a collection of classes handling Midi (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) in and output in Python 2.x

Open source projects that has become irrelevant with time, but was maintained for several years.

mxm Calendar Types

The built in calendar types in Plone are pretty simple and not really suitable for writing advanced calendar applications. mxmCalendarTypes is a collection of content types that are useful for that. It does not have a calendar interface in itself, but is easy to add to other calendars. mxmCalendartypes consists of three new content types: 'mxmEvent', 'mxmTodo', 'mxmJournal'.

mxm CV

Content types for making competency profiles or a curriculum vitae (CV)

mxm Dynamic Page

The mxm Dynamic Page product for Plone makes it easy for end-users to make dynamic pages that aggregates lists of content from a part of a Plone site. In short, it makes it easy to add dynamic lists to a document. It is especially usefull as an "index_html" in a member folder, where the member then has the option to make dynamic lists of his content. But it can also be used to easily make custom versions of the common "news" page, or pages similar to that.

mxm Help

If you use Plone for intranet use, you sometimes need a tool for internal documentation. Like a Windows help file, only for Plone. That is what mxmHelp is.

mxm Ical Tool

A tool for importing and exporting iCalender (.ics) files. to/from a Plone site.

mxm Imap Client

mxmImapClient is an IMAP client for Plone.

mxm Project Manager

"mxm Project Manager" (mxmPM) is a simple but efficient project management tool based on Gant charts. It is designed to handle project with less than a hundred participants. The typical use case would then be medium sized organizations.

mxm Proxy Tool

The mxmProxyTool is a Zope tool that fetches content from an external web source. The content can then be inserted in a page template or dtml page on your own site. Generally speaking, it makes it possible to browse another website, inside the look and feel of your own. It is thought of as a quick and dirty way to integrate external websites with a Zope site.

mxm Workgroups for Plone

mxm Workgroups makes collaboration easy and possible for networked and virtual organizations. It is a way to make shared "work spaces" where groups of people can collaborate, that are just as simple to manage as a normal Plone folder.

mxmContacts

mxmContacts is a Plone product for managing contacts. Both contacts as individuals and organizations. It is based on Archetypes.

Version File

A very simple product for managing different versions of files.

IIS utilities for Python

utilities for making python work on IIS

colorz

a tool for automatically generating color schemes from a main color using Goethes theory of color..
