Welcome to my My Space page! I'm a Classical Pianist, specializing in Collaborative Literature. That basically means that I love playing with other musicians! I'm also passionate about technology and run my website - HughSung.com - as a resource to help other musicians adopt various technologies to enhance their art and lifestyle. One of my favorite tools is the TabletPC, which enables me to write using digital ink and to turn the pages of my digital music with a programmable footswitch.
As of this writing, I'm setting up the following resources to share info about me, my tools and my musical activities:
