Hi!

Musica Excentrica presents new release:

CD-R and Quest.Room.Project – “Digital Snow”

Nikita Golyshev, known as CD-R, and Bogdan Dullsky (Quest.Room.Project) met virtually and have recorded an album. First, they share music file sources in the net, and then processed with real-time sound recordings through peer-to-peer connection.

The result is a collage of acoustic and digital pieces, gathered in one snowfall.

Feedback always welcome.

I find myself spending more and more of my time as a sound/instrument designer, and less and less as a “composer.” It seems to me that in electronic/digital media the sounds themselves are an overriding creative responsibility (as well as opportunity).

For this reason, I take partial issue with Mike Gogins who wrote recently that for *realtime* work, MAX/MSP was perhaps more appropriate than Csound. It is certainly true that many more composers are using means other than Csound for this purpose. OTOH, I find Csound nigh indispensable for designing and flexibly working with newly imagined sound.

Of course, actually giving birth to newly imagined sound is an awesome and daunting task. Yes, it’s just plain down and dirty. Indeed it’s overwhelming, and often gives disappointing results. Nonetheless, creating the world is not an easy task. Bigger toolkits mean greater challenges.
