Well, blow me down. I studied composition as an undergrad at Clark
University in Worcester MA with (among others) Brian Belet; who was himself
a student of James Tenney. I have heard some of Tenney's work and remember
liking it quite a bit.
A small but encouraging world of composition out there.
Enjoy Csound! It's not just a language; it's an ADVENTURE.
