Christopher Tignor is from a family of engineers, but it wasn't until he was attending college as a literature major that he realized he had the engineering gene as well. His path wasn't direct, but now Tignor is a composer, violinist, and software engineer and has won acclaim within both the classical and experimental music communities.
On this episode of "Music is Music," Tignor tells the story of his journey from literature major to composer and performer, and we hear the unique sound he creates with his violin and the help of his own software.
