I'm not sure most of the people on the list are, but I would say that's what
I like about it not what the problem is.

I'm currently working on a Csound piece called TeknoBubble.

I've often heard people say that Csound is hard to learn.

I like to explore new types of synthesis, I'm hoping those who are more
talented composers will be able to use my ideas will help others to create
good compositions.

I do have a degree in math but I am self taught in the areas of synthesis
and audio processing.  The great thing about the internet is the ability to
learn all of this stuff on line.  I have often tried to explain things to
others as simply as I can.

Hope you stick with us.

Bye,
