Code, Tea and gingernut biscuits..but no rain

As I promised last week, here is an example of some simple synth code I created in Csound and used as part of the Pole Shift work which was performed at last Thursday's Tyndall Assembly concert. It is just one of two components that were included in the performance of the work, the second component comprised of tape recording of this recording was played back in performance - its sound manipulated in real-time using variable tape speeds and EQ attenuation.

The sound is created using multiple audio oscillators (as instruments) which select pitch sequences that are in the score. The sequences can then be indexed directly by pitch class, or alternativly affected by an LFO and/or random algorithm.
