Chris Korda

Chris Korda (born 1962) is an American antinatalist activist, techno musician, software developer, and leader of the Church of Euthanasia.

Personal life

Korda is Jewish and is the daughter of Michael Korda and his first wife, Carolyn Keese. She is the granddaughter of art director Vincent Korda, and the great-niece of film directors Alexander Korda and Zoltan Korda.

Korda has identified as transgender since 1991, and is vegan. She is a graduate of the Hammonasset School.

Unabomber for President

In 1995, Korda, together with Lydia Eccles, launched the campaign Unabomber for President. It took the overt form of a political action committee, Unabomber Political Action Committee (UNAPACK). The group supported the arguments set forth in the Unabomber Manifesto, but not Ted Kaczynski himself.

Software career

In 2008, Korda designed Fractice, a fractal renderer.

Korda is also an inventor of music software, such as Waveshop (2013), a bit-perfect lossless free audio editor.

She is also the creator of ChordEase (2014), a free software tool that is compatible with any MIDI instrument and makes notes easier to play. ChordEase was presented at the 2015 International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression.

Music career

As an electronic/techno musician, Korda has released several LPs, singles and EPs. Korda toured Europe with her album Man of the Future, released in 2003 by the German electronic music record label International Deejay Gigolo Records. Korda has toured worldwide and uses her own software to perform live, including at the 2001 Sonar music festival in Barcelona.
