Michael Good, Founder and CEO

Michael Good's extensive background in computer technology and music led him to found Recordare. He has had technical leadership roles at SAP, Xtensory, and Digital Equipment Corporation, while remaining an active performer of concert music and musical theater.

Technology

Michael is the technical leader at Recordare LLC. He designed and developed the MusicXML language and Recordare's two MusicXML software products: the Dolet for Finale and Dolet for Sibelius plug-ins. His papers on MusicXML have been published in Computing and Musicology and in international conferences on computer music technology.

Before founding Recordare, Michael was Manager of Advanced User Interface Technology and Senior Developer at SAP Labs, Inc. He was an architect and developer of SAP's Employee Self Service products. These were SAP's first Web products and have been licensed to over three million users. He managed the initial proof of concept prototypes for integrating the SAP Business Information Warehouse with the mySAP.com Workplace, as well as with geographic information systems (GIS) technology.

Prior to SAP, Michael was Director of Engineering at Xtensory, a virtual reality startup company. He managed the delivery of three software products to market within fifteen months, including the XVS-Link standard device environment for virtual environments and applications. Before that, he was a principal engineer in Digital's Software Usability Engineering group, one of the key industrial research groups that pioneered the usability methods taken for granted in today's software development world. Michael has published extensively in the computer music and computer-human interaction literature, and has four patents for his past research.

Michael researched music technology at the MIT Experimental Music Studio, one of the forerunners of the MIT Media Lab. His Scot software for musical score translation, originally developed for Music 11, became a standard part of the Media Lab's Csound software package.

Music

Michael has sung tenor with many musical groups in the Silicon Valley and Boston areas. He is currently a member of the Stanford Symphonic Chorus, and has recently sung in the choruses of West Bay Opera in Palo Alto and Cabrillo Music Festival in Santa Cruz. Previously he has sung in choruses with the Boston Symphony, the Boston Pops, the San Jose Symphony, and the Masterworks Chorale of San Mateo.

Before starting singing, Michael was a trumpet player. An alumnus of the Interlochen Center for the arts, his playing can still be heard on the Vox CDs of the MIT Symphony Orchestra in the music of Howard Hanson, Samuel Barber, and Walter Piston.
