David Jameson

Keyboards, Eigenharp

Keyboardist/Eigenharpist David Jameson began his music career in the late 1970’s – the heyday of powerful keyboard players. He absorbed the work of ELP, Genesis, Weather Report, Yes, Return to Forever and Camel weaving aspects of all into his own approach. He spent several years touring with Time Machine and then left the music scene for a career at IBM after completing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland.

Jameson’s work at IBM began at the T.J. Watson Research Center where he created and managed the Computer Music Research group. His pioneering work was acknowledged by election to the prestigious IBM Academy of Technology. David left IBM to found Digiportal Software and Deskew Technologies, the latter of which develops Gig Performer, the acclaimed plugin host for live performing musicians. He also designs MaxMSP applications and libraries for live performance and for the Eigenharp – an electronic controller that features heavily in The Security Project shows.
