Here is my entry to Tobiah's Sort Composition Challenge. I saw this as a chance to try something I haven't, utilizing Python as a Score Generation Tool. As a disclaimer, I do not have a programming background. Csound is actually the first language I ever used. So, this was a chance to wrap my head around a few beginning programming techniques that I have been studying.
The result is a Grain Cloud type of composition with a few different sections. In Python, I wrote 'while loops' to create score lines for each of the different sections.

Submitted by majamerson on Fri, 07/25/2008 - 00:10.I recently became curious about how to create the sound of a Geiger Counter, so I dove in and gave it a try. Utilizing the mpulse opcode paired with five mode filters, I dialed it in until it sounded pretty good. Then, I added an FLTK knob to control the rate of the impulses to emulate the sound of increasing or decreasing radiation measurements. Pleased with the results, I figured I would share the CSD with everyone. Enjoy!
