I’m Chris Cannam, a software developer working mostly on audio and music software applications.
From 2020 to 2025 I spent most of my time on software at Breakfast Quay as co-owner of Particular Programs Ltd.
From 2005 to 2020 I worked in the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary, University of London, where I developed Sonic Visualiser, EasyMercurial, and a number of other things.
Before that I wrote a lot of the Rosegarden MIDI sequencer and music notation editor, brought together Fervent Software’s Linux distribution Studio to Go!, and worked at Yahoo! and in web development, banking, mobile telecoms, and oil. Most of my public projects are in C++ but I’ve worked in many other languages. I am an ordinary developer with just about enough time, application, and interest in users to have finished a few nice things.
You can find me on LinkedIn and I’ve also got a rather antique home page.
