Who created "DSSI"?

Question

Who created the "DSSI" API?
I've seen the names Steve Harris, Chris Cannam and Sean Bolton around documentions, but are they really the one's who created DSSI?

Thanks a lot!!

This is all I could find but it gives you their email addresses. Perhaps you could ask them directly.
DSSI (pronounced "dizzy") is a plugin API for software instruments (soft synths) with user interfaces, permitting them to be hosted in-process by audio applications. DSSI can be thought of as LADSPA-for-instruments, or something comparable to VSTi.

The proposal consists of this RFC, which describes the background and defines part of the proposed standard, plus a documented header file (dssi.h) which defines the remainder. The distribution also contains a handful of example files including a complete host implementation and a small number of synth plugins. The API itself is licensed under the LGPL.

This proposal was constructed by Steve Harris ([e-mail]), Chris Cannam ([e-mail]), and Sean Bolton ([e-mail]).
