Hi!

I am new to CSound but have composed electronic music on and off for the 
past 20 or so years. I started out with an Arp AXXE a phase shifter, a 
flanger and a reel to reel tape recorder that could record at 3 speeds. 
(I mention that because I did experiments with AM and FM 
synthesis--though I didn't know at the time that's what it was. My method 
was to play low-pitched sounds with a flanging or phase-shifting set to a 
fast modulation and recorded at the tape deck's slowest speed and then 
bounced the signal at the fastest speed to another deck and repeated the 
process). (Note: I was in high school at the time)

Ever since that time, I have been interested in 'sound sculpture'. I 
moved up to a moog model 6 and an Emu modular since that were available 
for use at the local junior college (I was a high school student).

When I was at University, I started concentrating more on guitar (which I 
had been playing for some years) and have only recently returned to my 
'sonic sculptures.' I am looking to both do abstract pieces and also work 
on pieces that use acoustic and electric guitar, tabla, djembe and 
electronically generated sound.

I've spent a lot of hours in the past couple of months using metasynth 
and that led me to CSound.

So far, I am a total novice but hoping to find the time to become more 
proficient at it.

I have been running Cecilia 2.0 on a PowerMac.

Well, that's me.
