It's made with three Csound instruments, a complex FM synth, a basic
analog synth, and a soundfile player. Each instrument is processed by
its own waveguide. AVSynthesis includes a sequencer, the note events for
the synths are created there with predetermined and constrained random
values. The event streams are defined in the AVS main track display
The waveguide is the star of the show. It's one of the weirdest effects
I've worked with, I love what it can do to otherwise simple sounds. In
this piece I've applied roughly the same values for the waveguides for
each instrument, but with different envelopes over the parameters. The
effect retains some similarity among the instruments, with considerable
difference as well.
Btw, the file player is playing a piece I made with Thomas Baudel's
HighC. Alas, that program doesn't create a Csound score, but it does
produce a high quality WAV for treatment by external progs. Further,
HighC's integral sounds aren't very rich. The waveguide and the
excellent reverb in AVS animate those sounds more to my liking.
AVSynthesis creates a CSD for every rendition. I kept the original to
P01-090805 if anyone wants to view or render it. You can get it here:

It makes a nice wallpaper. :)
Thank you for listening,
