Contrapunctus I

Contrapunctus I

Same piece as was posted several months ago. The attached csd in the original had a fatal error which is corrected in this version.

Contrapunctus I is a study in the algorithmic generation of contrapuntal materials. It is written entirely in csound and is released under a creative commons license (see csd for full details).

Cinematic Csound from Sonic Cinema

Cinematic Csound from Sonic Cinema

This podcast is dedicated to my delvings into Csound I made in college, as well as recent explorations in reacquainting myself with the program. All of the pieces currently available for listen here were projects done for class, so some may not be as complex as others, but in returning to the program for a project I'm currently working on, I hope to go further into my study and work with the program. These pieces were created in 1999 and 2000 as I was studying Csound with Dr. Robert Scott Thompson at Georgia State University.
