This is a piece I composed for Dr. Boulanger's Csound class at Berklee College of Music. It was completed within 6 hours and only uses Csound Catalog instruments. I rendered the instruments as they were and edited the audio.

This is for Dr. Boulanger's berklee class. The assignment was to create a pop sequence using only the catalog sounds in under six hours. I used Reason and Recycle to make this.
This composition is based around a sample of Paris Smaragdis' piece "Slingpling". I chopped the audio using recycle and looped a portion of it. After introducing the sample, drums (cut from Josep M Comajuncosas bdrum instrument, newsnare, newcymbal and newgoofyperc, from the mikelson collection) enter.

This is my midterm project for Dr. B's class at Berklee. It's a one minute notelist composition. I didn't know about score tricks when I wrote it, so it was tediously entered in one section.
One of the instruments in the piece won't work without an audio sample, but the website won't let me upload it :/

This is my 6 hour International Catalog Competition project for Dr. B's class.

I used instruments from the Byrne, Comajuscosas, Hoffman, Lyon, Mikelson, Miranda, Risset, and Varga collections.

I rendered all of these and then cropped my favorite parts of them in Peak. After that I used MetaSynth to pitch shift down some of the percussive sounds. I created Kontakt instruments with the samples and sequenced the song in Logic.

I got a White Reese's as a prize because I won the competition although I think Rob's song was better than mine

Rob, I think you should have won
