Gsagostinho's HUD (Blue version)

Gilberto Agostinho (gsagostinho) is a professional composer!

...and search for him by name on YouTube to see some of his music performed!

...my thesis is called 'The Design of Note-based Algorithmic Systems Through the Use of Mental Models'. Basically, I work with algorithmic systems that I code myself and which produce music scores, and my dissertation investigates how we approach and conceptualise these types of systems when coding them. As for the why, that's a tricky one :D I'm very passionate about my field and I've been doing this for many, many years, and I find the area of algorithmic music very interesting. Sometimes it feels like you are discovering music rather than imposing it, if that makes sense.

Needless to say, Gilberto has a very keen sense of aesthetics - both visual and aural.

Work in progress

Have look at his station models here.

Influence

As well as his own OXPs, he has been influential behind the scenes in improving the aesthetics of other OXPs such as Dictators OXP, Manual Witchspace Alignment, System Features Rings & Fuel Station OXP.

Outside Oolite

Gilberto has been involved making similar contributions to other games - look at FlightGear.
