Eerie_eyed

This is my one minute note-list composition for Dr. B's Csound class. It's made from Etude instrument modifications and a few instruments built specifically for this project. This my first piece done in Csound that wasn't a simple instrument modification so it was a very exploratory experience and a fun one at that. I am including the .csd file for snooping around. Feel free to use/modify it however you would like. I hope you enjoy it.

Xir-1 by Raul Garza (6 hours competition entry)

Xir-1 by Raul Garza (6 hours competition entry)

Author: Raul Garza
Title: Xir-1

I composed this piece by using only sounds from the Csound catalog. I rendered each sound and then I made the production in Ableton Live 7 by using only de Sampler instrument. I edited a lot the instruments and added Ableton effects. This is song was created for the 6 hours competition for Csound.

Steve Reiche'esque (6 Hour Composition)

Steve Reiche'esque (6 Hour Composition)

I starting by rendering different sounds including: a rhythmic loop (step), bass clarinet, bowed instrument.
The whole thing was assembled in Live, where I have a few plug-ins running on some of the tracks.

The approach was to try to make as musical as possible with a very simple form. I really like minimalistic music and when I heard the bass clarinet with a multi tap delay, I knew I wanted to come up with something Steve Reiche'esque. Parts come in and go.The percussion is so maimed that is hard to recognize.

I hope all of you will enjoy it

Xenophonie 4

Xenophonie 4

The idea of Xenophonie is inspired by Bill Sethares and his book "Tuning, Spectrum, scale".
The sound itself if made via additive synthesis.
The sound is "inharmonic" but the partials fit to the choosen scale that divides the proportion 13/8 into six parts of qual "length".
Although all intervals and chords are far away from the conventional tempered system, they sound somehow "consonant."
My aim was to create an instrument, that could be used during a live performance.
This instrument should be at least as interesting, variable and lively as a Steinway-piano.

Unfortunately, I did not reach this aim.
