I've been studying this past semester in Dr. Boulanger's Csound class at Berklee College of Music. One of Dr B's many challenges included writing a piece in only six hours, to be entirely made from sounds found in the Csound Instrument Catalogue. For my project entitled "Deepening," I used samples rendered from the Csound Catalogue, which I arranged and manipulated with effects processors in Ableton Live. I used the Simpler and Drum Rack unit to shape many of my instruments. Granted, many of the sounds in this piece were blown up beyond the point of recognition, but surely you'll recognize some of the sounds if you have bought the catalogue yourself. (I highly recommend doing so if you haven't already.) I found that writing a piece in a 6 hour time limit is a good exercise for composition, it makes you work to tighten up your production chops, that's for sure! Well I hope you enjoy this piece.
