Adalberto Vidal: Electronic study n.1

Electronic study n.1 by Adalberto Vidal.

Composed in 2004.

This piece has three sections of 3'15'' with 3,145,632 notes each. All pitches, dynamics, and spatial locations of sounds were algorithmically defined and arranged by a model which I published on the Csound Journal (Issue 2 - Winter 2006 - http://www.csounds.com/journal).

The sound material used throughout the piece consists in a simple string sound generated by Csound's "pluck" opcode which uses the Karplus & Strong algorithm. An envelope is applied to the pluck sound in order to soften its attack.

All sound synthesis, sequencing, and mixing were done using Csound without any help from third party software or tools.

Everything was composed using a standard laptop computer running Linux, Java and Csound.
