Announcing my latest composition for *Csound5*, live performance: ET ITERUM
VENTURUS EST.

It's fairly short, easy to perform - can even be done with a two-button X/Y
joystick. No GUI (FLTK). Not highly demanding CPU-wise.

I've tested it only on Windows; I'd be delighted to know how it works on
other platforms.

It's available for download at the head of my composition list at:
www.arthunkins.com . In addition to a test/instruction file, and a .zip with
all six versions (3 stereo, 3 quad), there's an .mp3 of a sample performance
(I learned more about fout to accomplish the recording while doing
realtime - my first try with fout, as I'd been using CsoundAV previously for
this).

I owe a great debt of gratitude to Dave Seidel for this piece. It was while
doing realtime arrangements of his Sublimation that I became acquainted with
(and enamoured of) reverbsc, as well as the spline opcodes (for adding a
very musical "jitter"). Both of these ideas are absolutely central to my
piece.

Thanks, Dave.

Art,

I must say, I think this is one of your most beautiful pieces.  And I 
would have said that even if you *hadn't* mentioned me!  :-)

Indeed, reverbsc is probably my favorite Csound5 opcode (so far, at 
least -- there's a lot to explore).

- Dave

I played the two- and four-controller versions in stereo on PowerBook 
G4 with OS X 10.3.9 and Csound 5.01.  I enjoyed the piece very much.  
The four-controller version is much more interesting to play, but they 
both worked fine.

When playing the two-controller version, these messages were printed:

The performance of the piece was not affected as far as I could tell.
