Mystical

This is a layered Csound composition built on a drum and bass beat foundation.  The drum instruments (Kick 1 and Kick 2) are taken from instruments in the Csound Catalog that were modified using Peak.  The same is true for the bass instrument.  These are included in the folder for reference purposes. Thanks to Mikelson and Varga.

Upon this beat are several instruments that incorporate global parameters including reverb, comb filter, and delay.  The instruments are modifications of instruments found in the etude 6 collection from Richard Boulanger's textbook, "The Csound Book." The cad file, _etude6.csd is included in the folder for reference.

My wife Sari first words after hearing the piece were that it sounded "mystical," hence the choice for the title.

Enjoy!
