otis by seancostello

Csound work from the fall of 1998. Otis was some big dumb dog that ran up to my wife and me in front of A Taste of India in the U district. Apparently he had ran away from the people watching him. The computer music course I was taking had lots of grad students naming their compositions 3 lower case words, like "still, further, quiet." So the full name of otis is "otis (comes running, stinking)."
The synthesis techniques were homecooked granular (at the beginning, which is a few tens of thousand of note events of little sine waves), FM, additive, and my own additive technique which modulates each partial with bandlimited noise.
