Barry passed along a link to Delay Lama the Virtual Singing Monk, from the AudioNerdz. Perusing the Nerdz' site I found the programmer bios including this ditty from their Mac guy, Daan Hermans:

" I joined in a little later in the Delay Lama project. It was a nice way of learning some C++ and some DSP stuff. It also gave me a lot of music to listen to, while developing, and some nice lunch recipies, in the end. I really like the way things are going in music software these days. I would really like to reduce my stuff to one incredible laptop, mac in my case. I was the one doing all the mac compatibility, which gave us some really nice bugs at the end of the project."
"I once heard this story that the developer of 'Tetris' almost got so addicted to his own game, that it would never have been released. It is this kind of addiction that I also have with the Delay Lama."
