Hi! I'm Michael Tyson, and I run A Tasty Pixel from our home in the hills of Melbourne, Australia. I occasionally write on a variety of technology and software development topics. I've also spent 3.5-years travelling around Europe in a motorhome.

I make Loopy, the live-looper for iOS, Audiobus, the app-to-app audio platform, and Samplebot, a sampler and sequencer app for iOS.
