Thorin is traveling right now, and intends to reply to his messages when
he can.  In the meantime, here are links to rendered versions of “Diving
I” that I made.

Here are some comments Thorin made about the piece in an email to me:

“I used python to generate almost the entire score. There is a little
bit of hand editing here and there. I’m still a bit green with
programming. Very briefly: I use python to read Scala tuning scales
(Did I mention it’s largely Just Intonation?). Then there’s lots of
sequence permutations which index pitch scales, intervals and rhythmic
cells. While working: I generate lots of score files, and use a master
score with numerous #include statements. That’s pretty much the entire
composition.

There will (should) be more… it is ‘part I’ after all. I usually use
Csound in every piece I write, but this is really the first
Csound-only one. I have to admit… it takes some persistence to iron
out the wrinkles, but, once you have the tools, and a working method,
it gets easier.”
