Joshua Kit Clayton, better know by his stage name Kit Clayton, is a San Francisco-based musician and computer programmer. He is a significant contributor to Cycling 74, working on the Max/MSP sound engineering environment, as well as Jitter. He utilizes Max, MSP, and Jitter extensively in his own work, which is largely ambient computer music and glitch.[1]
In 2000 Clayton founded and operated his own label, Orthlorng Musork. Musork released seminal works by Akira Rabelais, Alejandra and Aeron, Kevin Blechdom, Blevin Blectum, Blectum from Blechdom, Eight Frozen Modules, Gold Chains, Secret Mommy, Stephan Mathieu, Sutekh, Timeblind, and others, until folding in 2004. Musork announced its final release and the closing of label operations with the following statement:
"Why do we stop? The simple and honest truth is that we want to devote our time to other creative things. We still love music and we will still be active and supportive of the scene. We aren't in financial ruin, we don't think p2p networks have destroyed the music industry, we don't only want to listen to country western, we just want to take on other projects with as much love and intensity as we did this one."[2]
Clayton graduated from Wesleyan University.[citation needed]
