Subject[Csnd] An atmospheric track using the mandel opcode
Being that the mandel opcode tends to favour the maxIter values, and therefore the way I used it here favor the upper notes of the scale used, I deliberately skewed the results to instead get more repetition of the lowest note to create a droning effect. Not intended as a direct reflection of the Mandela opcode, just an attempt to make it work within the framework I chose.

Most random generators have their own tendencies (betarand, gauss, trangular etc.) but one of the things I found with the mandel opcode is it seems more likely to produce short phrases at times, with notes close together as opposed to the wider interval notes more frequently chosen with other opcodes.

The score: 
i"Trigger"      0   3600   -12  0 .7
i"TriggerPad"   0   3600   .08
i"Chorus"       0   3606    .5
i"Reverb"       0   3606

Nothing groundbreaking here but it does sound kinda pretty.

Scott,

It's a really beautiful piece.
Thanks for making and sharing with us.
I will play it for my students this week - they will love it too.

I do hope you will share the CSD
