Csound and Gourd

Part One of the "Computer Music and Organic Object" diptych. This one features a long bottle neck gourd that Twig Harper had found in a Baltimore alley one day, that I bore holes into to make this primitive trumpet, that you see playing here with my baby to a CSOUND track, using predominant 7s as the harmonic basis, notably this sort of progression in Just Intonation:
1, [7/6], [7/5], [7/4], plus [14/9], some [21/20], plus octaves and "classical" tones like [6/5] and [16/9] which produce beating tones in the harmonium with the other 7-basers.
