CSound w/Dr.B - 6 Hour

CSound w/Dr.B - 6 Hour

This was a piece done in Dr. Richard Boulanger's CSound course at the Berklee College of Music. It had a few simple guidelines: you can only spend 6 hours on it and all of the sound must originate from CSound.

All of the 'sound' in this piece was done entirely in CSound and then compiled in Logic. Most of the instruments I used were taken directly from the CSound catalog (I did this a few years ago, I wish I could site better).

Hope you enjoy - any questions or comments, please feel free to fire them my way:

Jungle Game (Notelist Composition)

Jungle Game (Notelist Composition)

Hello! My name is Kristen, and I'm one of Dr. Boulanger's Csound students at Berklee. Recently we were challenged to compose a one-minute notelist composition entirely in Csound - mine is called "Jungle Game." It emulates classic retro 8-bit video game music, since that's one of the things I enjoy most. :)

Wandering To Nowhere (6 Hour Catalogue Contest entry)

Wandering To Nowhere (6 Hour Catalogue Contest entry)

Hello again! "Wandering To Nowhere" was my submission for Dr. B's Csound Catalogue Contest. The rules of the contest meant I had six hours to prepare and compose the entire piece using only sounds from the Csounds Catalogue - I spent the first two hours rendering instruments, cutting the wav files in Peak and making a couple of Kontakt instruments out of a few of the pitched instruments. I then spent the next four creating the sequence in Logic, using the Kontakt instruments as MIDI tracks and using the remaining samples by dropping them onto audio tracks.
