in reply to Composing Music with Csound and Perl

Perhaps an octave of two high for my taste and comfort (anyone who has been driven screaming from an apple 2c lab by a monitor left on after the cpu was turned off knows what I mean) but nonetheless pretty darn good. I'm feeling a lot of SAW2 influence there, intentional or not. If you're not familiar with Aphex Twin, which seems almost impossible ;-), I hightly recomend any of his work. I am also gonna have to take a look at csound, you may be responsible for 'monkdoting' their poor server. From the little I've read, it kinda strikes me as POV-RAY for music, with attendant steep learning curve but rich rewards. I would love to see the perl that made the csound that made the mp3, if you feel like posting it. (whew)

    I added the perl script here. The file is isolation.pl. The code is ugly. But since we're all friends here, I don't mind you looking at my less than efficient code. I've since moved into the realm of OOP Perl to create Csound files. Much cleaner, but I'm not putting that up until my next composition is finished.

    I am familiar with Aphex Twin. He uses Csound himself, or so I've heard through certain channels.

    I've heard the POV-RAY comparison before, and I agree 100%.

      Certain channels, eh? You aren't Richard James in disguise by any chance? But seriously, he is aparently known for being pro open souce and pro linux when it comes to his software. Guess it springs from is days building his own hardsynths. (if that's a word)

      I also have an idea for a project, although unless I can hack perlqt enough to run with the windows version of qt and the cygwin version of everything else it will have to be something other than Perl. I've seen plenty of programs that will emulate a midi keyboard, but i've never seen anything that will emulate a midi knob controller, like the phatboy. I am itching to play with the realtime stuff in Csound, but I don't have the $$$ for a phatboy, so I thought I'd write my own. Unless anybody has seen such a program, in which case I'll still write my own, just to learn more qt and midi.

      Anyway, keep the music coming, for those of us not gifted with musical talent. Oh yeah, it would be neat to see some OO music code too, I can't even imagine what that'd be like.
