Introducing two incarnations of my latest realtime sonic environments for 
Csound5 (both available at the top of my list of recent compositions at 
http://www.arthunkins.com):

1) BROTHER SUN and SISTER MOON - Sonic Environments for realtime Csound5 
(2010)
  All computer platforms. MIDI controller with 8-9 sliders/rotary pots 
(single controller only)

Versions included for the commandline, and Lettuce standalones for Windows 
only (yes, Rory, I'm still doing Lettuce executables :-). The ZIP archive 
includes necessary Csound5.06 files for the latter).

2) SUN-MOON MUSIC and SUN-MOON MUSIC MC: Activities for Linux/Sugar (2010)
  Realtime sonic environments for children (Brother Sun Music and Sister 
Moon Music), performable on XO computers
   or via Sugar on a Stick (Sugar >= 0.82). GUI interface.
  Sun-Moon Music MC allows for Multiple (MIDI) Controllers (for 
collaborative exploration/performance), Sun-Moon Music requires a single 
controller

The Multiple Controller (collaborative) activity is not available for Sugar 
0.82 (i.e., XO-1.0), as Csound 5.10 is required for the -Ma flag, whereas 
the XO-1.0 uses an earlier version of Csound.

Demo .mp3 realizations of the two environments are also posted at 
www.arthunkins.com.

These Activities very much parallel my earlier pair, Our Music and Our Music 
MC - except that the new Activities do not have an option of ASCII keyboard 
as controller (it wasn't feasible here).

Brother Sun and Sister Moon are inspired by Francis of Assisi's The Canticle 
of the Sun. Both are closely related to one another as well. They implement 
a single instrument that simulates 6-7 simultaneous instruments. Brother Sun 
exhibits a multiple, "double FM" design (as discussed on this list 
recently); Sister Moon complements this with multiple AM synthesis.

The general theme is the interconnectedness of all creation (and the implied 
necessity for greater stewardship of the environment).

Ah, Art, that's my kind of sound.
