Dear Csound folks,

I've been a happy user of Csound for over twenty years (and lurking
on this mailing list for quite a while) and I wanted
to say hello by sharing a set of pieces I've made recently.
I made them in February for the RPM Challenge ( https://www.rpmchallenge.com/ ) 
which I've participated in for many years (I highly recommend it!).

The tracks were all made with Csound using various
samples I've recorded.  The basic idea was layering and filtering,
with some ring modulation on one track (which I hope isn't too obvious). 
I wanted to keep things simple, opcode-wise, and instead use many, many layers,
and see what I could come up with that way.

The tracks are on Soundcloud and Bandcamp (at the latter, it may be easier
to download them en mass if you want to do that).

Comments would be welcome!

cheers,

Matt

Hi Pablo,

I used an .orc file and a .sco file for each track.
Here is one .orc file. It is quite simple, with just one 
simple instrument. This is the one for the final track, Float Across the Smooth Portion.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
sr = 44100
ksmps = 1
nchnls = 2
0dbfs = 1

instr 1
;p2 is time
;p3 is duration
;p4 is sample number
;p5 is stereo
;p6 is lowpass filter freq
;p7 is amplitude
;p8 is ring freq
;p9 is ring mix
;p10 is pitch adjustment
;p11 is fade in (in seconds)

ktrap linen 1, p11,p3,0.02*p3
aring poscil3 1,p8

a1 loscil 1,1,p4,p10

aring2 = a1*aring
a1 = a1*(1-p9)+aring2*p9

a2b lowpass2 a1,p6,1.5
a2a lowpass2 a2b, p6, 1.5
a2 balance a2a,a1

outs a2*(1-p5)*p7*ktrap*ktrap,a2*p5*p7*ktrap*ktrap
endin

I wrote a program (in python) to generate the score. 
There are 2000 sound events for this piece.

The score looks like this:
f 1  0 0 1  "dry/dry01.wav"  0 0 0
f 2  0 0 1  "dry/dry02.wav"  0 0 0
f 3  0 0 1  "dry/dry03.wav"  0 0 0

For this piece, the three samples used were recordings I made of dry ice
sublimating under water.

cheers,

Matt
