I've been a member of Dr. Boulanger's Csound class this semester, and I'm posting a few of my compositions for you to hear. I would really love to know what you think, so that I can improve my future work in Csound which I hope to continue far beyond this class.

This is my one minute note list composition, and it is intended to be a soundscape inspired by a cave. It was written very early on in my exposure to Csound.

Thank you for time in listening, and also for answering my questions on the mailing list.

This is a simple short piece called "Falling Through Time" I did early on in Dr. Boulanger's CSound class. I made use of the foscil opcode and experimented with modulation using linen and expseg. I also used the vibes, crunch, and butlp opcodes. I also added global reverb and delay.

Hello all,

I'm in Dr. Boulanger's Csound class at Berklee. We're at the end of the semester and all I can say is the Csound universe is large!

This was my first composition using Csound. I call it burial as it reminds me of Jeff Buckley's "Lover, You Should've Come Over". We were asked to create a one minute composition using a note-list instrument. I've attached both the final audio in MP3 format as well as the CSD used to produce the audio. I hope you enjoy them.

Best,

Andrew Kim

This tune was my submission for this year's "International 6 Hour Csound Composition Competition" in Dr. Boulanger's Csound class at Berklee. I took some sounds from the Csound Catalog, chopped up the audio files and made Kontakt instruments out of them, and sequenced the song in Ableton Live 6 (behind the times, I know). Inspiration for this song actually came from the soundtrack to the old Nintendo game "Battletoads," the score for which was done by David Wise (one of my favorite composers).

My name's Francis Hickey and I am a student at the Berklee College of Music, where I am taking Dr. Boulanger's Csound class. This is my first ever Csound piece. It is a piece inspired by the soundtrack to the computer game Myst. Let me know what you think!
