I’ve posted a new piece made with Csound on my web site. It’s in 53 tone to the octave equal temperament, also known as 53 EDO for equal divisions of the octave.

Csound is used as a sampling instrument, with samples from some instruments I made many years ago, plus a bass flute and cello sample from the McGill University Master Samples library.

There are two versions, one 5.26% slower than the other. As with the other  million wonders of Csound, that change was trivial. Can you image asking an orchestra to please adjust your tempo to be the (53rd root of 2) * 4 slower, please?

There is lots of indeterminacy, repetition with small changes of intonation and rhythm. I’ve been listening to Steve Reich a lot lately. He’s a master, I’m an amateur. But I do enjoy Csound.

I made a live piece with csound and a slow feedback-eliminator
instrument, performed with long aluminum tubes as resonators and
Ingrid Lode on vocals.
There are also 2 partikkel instruments used in the piece, but the main
focus is on the feedback instrument.

The piece and a simplified version of the instrument can be found at

A more elaborate version of the instrument can be found in the
ImproSculpt CVS at

Hope you find it interesting.
