John Wilson

I build audio and AI software. I'm the lead developer at Sessionwire. I also run index9, a small Mac software studio. Based in Kelowna, BC.

Now

Sessionwire is a virtual studio for remote recording and mixing, with over 36,000 accounts. I've led development since 2017. The newest part is search that finds audio by how it sounds.

At index9, Windrose controls the fans on Apple Silicon Macs, and Whetstone rewrites a rough prompt for the model you pick.

I built the video engine behind Firelight Sleep Stories. AI models write and narrate each episode, and I review every one before it goes up.

I also rebuilt the Tascam Portastudio 488, an 8-track cassette recorder, in the browser. You can mix and record on it.

Previously

Before software, I worked in audio for a decade. I ran Earthtone Mastering, mixed live sound in Canada and the UK, produced music for film and TV, and led the audio engineering program at a Kelowna college. In 2015 I left teaching to write software.

I have a BA in Sound Technology from LIPA in Liverpool and an MA in Creative Media Practice from Middlesex University. The MA was on remote multimedia collaboration.
