Cosc 4V98 Csound Composition - Annoying Instruments

By Faheem Dinath

The Composition

The Composition Annoying Instruments came out of the sheer frustration of having to learn Csound. The idea was to slap together existing sound at my disposal which happened to be a few instrument samples from the tutorial webpage. the idea before that was to actually use musical samples with mixed effects with csound, but since csound didn't want to load the long samples properly, I was only left with using the example samples which were the violin and the piano. so this is how Annoying Instruments was born.

The Instruments

Annoying Instruments is a composition of a unique instrument which is a combination of fm modulator and granular synthesis, another instrument of granular synthesis is added and finally two samples of a violin and a piano are played back throughout the composition.
