About dmx.berlin

dmx.berlin is the personal website of Jörg Richter, software developer.
➜ Study of computer science and linguistics at TU Berlin.
➜ Former CTO of the DeepaMehta GmbH and DMX Systems UG companies.
I live and work, and was born, in Berlin. All the software I build is Open Source.

After putting my LEGO bricks aside, I discovered the computer as the ultimate tool for endless puzzles. That was in 1981 when I learned Z80 assembler on a Micro-Professor MPF-I. A year later I did Pac Man and Centipede clones on my ZX Spectrum. Whilst at high school, I created MIDI sound editors for Roland keyboards and sold them through G.C.Geerdes and Softarts (now defunct). After studying, I worked at Claassen & Friends and built, in the late 90s, the artfacts.net website, which became one of the largest about contemporary arts. At 2000 I was employed at Staps Mindware when Knowledge Management was the thing. Matthias Staps, the CEO, set me on a mission: "Do research about Knowledge Management, and this is how the UI should look like" he said. He showed me a Mind Map. This was the birth of the DeepaMehta project, my now 25+ years ongoing quest for building a cognitively adequate work environment. Currently version 6, a complete rewrite, is on the way.

Besides software development my passion is music. In the 80s I grew up with the punk and new wave records of my older sister. In the late 80s I started experimenting with a Roland D-10 synthesizer, bought from a small inheritance from my grandmother. In the early 90s I did a duo with a former high school buddy. Both efforts are now documented at Bandcamp as Kind aus Blech and Phil & Jörg respectively. Since the 2000's I was a regular guest DJ at MissVergnügen's Strange Music for Strange People parties at Eschschloraque. Today I'm curating 2 music streams, one being Essential Madness Radio, featuring 80s experimental DIY music, the other about meditative avant-garde music, called Bhakta Radio.
