About me

Welcome to the homepage of Georg Holzman, a guy from Austria with many interests.
Some of them are machine learning, everything related to audio and computer music, open source software, web development, music, politics, economy, new technologies and of course much more.

Currently I am working on the auphonic project, which pretty much includes most things I like to do Smile.
