Projects

The Creative Technology territory. Tools and creative work from Organic Arts LLC: software, music, animation, games. Each one built with AI collaboration; each one exploring what creative work looks like when it is built from code with an AI agent at your side.

7helm

A twin-stick space arcade in the browser. Co-op for up to four.

A deterministic simulation in Dart, a scoreboard that replays every run before it posts the score, rooms of up to four pilots on one small server, and a ChipForge score that follows the fight. No accounts, no cookies, nothing to install.

Pixel Vault

314 playable HTML5 game prototypes. One file each, zero dependencies.

A museum of every fundamental game mechanic, reconstructed in its smallest possible form. Each prototype traces its lineage to real arcade history and is playable in 5 seconds by double-clicking. Three tracks: classic archetypes, AI archaeology overlays, and AI-originated experiments.

ChipForge

Music synthesis engine, voices, guitars, and orchestras from pure math.

Every sound generated from scratch in Python and numpy: no samples, no recordings, no audio libraries. It started as a Game Boy-style chip tune engine and grew into full synthesis, synthesized voices, instruments, and orchestral scores driven by an AI composition pipeline. It is the score department of the Napkin Films studio, and stands on its own too: the releases live on the music page.

Napkin Films

A code-native animation studio, built department by department.

A one-person animation studio, built department by department and entirely in code. Development turns ideas into a slate. A cast of characters performs on one shared skeleton. AI voice talent narrates. ChipForge writes the original scores. A finishing room handles the mix and the final look. No GPU, no AI video generators, no stock media.

Velocidad

Antifragile learning engine. Produce first, drill what breaks.

Started as a Spanish fluency system; now a general-purpose knowledge engine. AI agents run the practice loop and plain-text markdown holds the curriculum: produce under pressure, log what broke, drill the friction, produce again. No app, no account, no subscription, runs in any AI chat window.

pnueve

Plan 9's imagination playground.

A standalone interactive playground set in the world of the Plan 9 films: a place to wander the universe rather than just watch it. Kept as its own site and surfaced here as part of the creative-technology ecosystem.

  1. Why I Build Creative Technology: Music, Films, and Games From Pure Code

    I make music, animated films, and games from code: ChipForge, Napkin Films, and Pixel Vault. Why I hold to no samples, no GPU, and one small file by default, and what happens when I break the rule.

  2. The Language of Sound: A Field Guide for Making Music

    I could already make sound. I could not name it, and you cannot ask for a thing you cannot name. So I asked my music engine for a map. This is that map: sound built in altitudes, and the words that let you climb it.

Judge the Work

Writing someone off because AI is part of how they work measures the wrong thing. Judge the work instead. And when the hits come, hold your focus, do the reps, and keep talking.

AGENTSPEK Is Live on Amazon

I wrote a book about coding with AI using AI to write it. Now it is on Amazon. Here is what that process taught me, and why I think this is the beginning, not the destination.
