Most, if not all of my csound compositions use a fairly large set of samples as
well as straight synthesis, so it would be difficult to distribute the whole
"Project" to users around the web to compile on their own machines.

Another "problem" is that most of my csound works are coupled with live intstruments
as well, so how does one make those easily parts available?

Recordings of the work are also to large to distribute, and many audio compression
tools for Internet distribution put a rather large dent in the quality of the original.  Of
course, if we all had T1 or better access to the Internet at all times, then distribution of good
quality audio wouldn't be an issue...:-}

Anyway...

I would be happy to collect orc/sco's from everyone and make them available on
my website.  I work with dynamic web content everyday, so making a nice search
engine for orc/sco's wouldn't be to difficult...the time to do it could be a problem...

I've collected many of the orc/sco's that members of this list have sent to me and would
be happy to prime the pump with them...pending the author's approval of course...I just
am assuming that if someone post's an orc/sco to this list, they don't really care on
how it's used...correct me if I'm wrong...

Subject:	Compositions and recordings?

It seems that there is but a limited number of Csound compositions
around, at least made available on the web.  I'm thinking there are at
three reasons why this is so
1) There are no other composers outside of the 5-6 that already have
posted.
2)Copyright infringement by making orcs and scos publicly avaiable
3)No effort has been made in this direction

Anyway it would be nice to hear more of the music and sounds being
created out there.

On another issue, are there recordings (cd's) that use Csound either as
part of various instruments or perhaps on it's own.  I looked around
Frog Peak but didn't notice any cd's mentioning Csound.

Thanks
