This is a work in progress, a fractal AC piece in C major with 4/4 timing. Sort of. The C major scale is chosen from 53-TET, and the 4/4 beats are divided up strangely to demonstrate the capabilities of my rhythm programming system, which is done in Python, inspired by Jacob Joaquim's dseq language. The fractal is applied in various ways, most obviously to the sequencing of the pluck instrument, but also to provide tonal variation to rhythm instruments.

This is a short fractal piece in a hexadecimal just intonation scale.

The synth used is Plucky, based on the pluck opcode and the encapsulation method presented by Stephen Yi in his article "Creating Encapsulated Instruments in Csound5", in Csound journal Volume 1 Issue 2 - Winter 2006. Different "subpatches" can be loaded from the score which use GEN21 random tables for the pluck opcode and different decay methods, allowing a range of different plucked string type sounds.

This is a piece I made for Dr. Boulanger Csound class at Berklee. Like many of my colleagues, we were given the Csound catalog and 6 hours to make a tune. All the sounds we used in the piece had to be rendered by in Csound and we only had 6 hours to work on the project. I would like to thank all of you who contributed to the wonderful collection of instruments, inspiration and knowledge that is the Csound Catalog.
Enjoy my piece!

All the best,

Michael

This is a piece that I composed for Dr. Boulanger's Csound class in Berklee. Its a note-list composition. Its a variation of my original class project, perhaps simpler, but works better musically.
