Please excuse the cross-posting if you receive this more than once.

I just want to announce the availability of a new composition of mine
available on my page at Ruccas.org



"Differentiated Abstractions" will be the first of several new "stretch"
pieces -- a collection that I plan to call "POD Ambient 2" (a creative name
for the follow-up to my "POD Ambient" collection ;)
 
Once again, I have taken a sound sample about 5 seconds long created with
the software Argeïphontes Lyre using its dynamic frequency modulation
algorithm.  This time though I granulated the sample first with th0nk0+2,
creating a chaotic and very dynamic "narration" of about 40 seconds before I
stretched the sound with MacPOD.  I also stretched the th0nk output to three
different lengths (six times, nine times, and eighteen times).  The final
composition was mixed using Csound 5's diskin2 opcode by layering the three
stretches and looping the shorter ones to match the length of the longest.

The result is engulfing, multi-granulated sound with audible canonic
elements.  (That sounds suitably "academic" ^_^ )

If you take a listen, I appreciate it.  Thanks!
