Tony Brooke’s Summary

I foster music through technology. My goal is to solve problems in music content management and media technology.

I have been responsible for music creation, reproduction, distribution and broadcasting for many audiences totaling hundreds of thousands of people. My work has empowered music creators, entertained audiences and built successful businesses. I have excelled in every stage of music creation and broadcasting: as a producer, engineer, webmaster, webcaster, FM program director, DJ, teacher and musician.

Technology can be used as a powerful tool or an ineffectual crutch. I build tools out of crutches, making music happen.
