Roger Harmon

Roger Harmon is an American musicologist and lutenist who taught lute at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland. He is noted for founding the Baltimore Consort in 1980 with flutist Mindy Rosenfeld, which performed successfully for several years before releasing On the Banks of the Helicon, their first album for Dorian Recordings. Roger Harmon's research has focused mainly on ancient music theory.[1]

Notable students include lutenist and composer Ronn McFarlane.

gollark: Increasing the key sizes a lot isn't very helpful if it doesn't increase the difficulty of breaking it by a similarly large factor.
gollark: I'm not sure what P = NP would mean for that. Apparently doing that is non-polynomial time, and a constructive P = NP proof would presumably let you construct a polynomial-time algorithm.
gollark: Asymmetric cryptography stuff relies on it being impractically hard to do some things, such as factor large semiprime numbers.
gollark: Symmetric encryption is safe still, I think. And polynomial-time doesn't mean you can't have ridiculously gigantic (fixed) exponents or constant factors.
gollark: Hmm. I see.
