Very nice! Where did you get the scores for these pieces?

Xenophonie07 (Hommage a Skrjabin)

Completely produced in Csound for Android on a Samsung S6 phone. No samples, all sounds are synthesized.

Daychime, Nightchime (Csound)

Please note: No actual instruments were harmed during the creation of this track.

A soft atmospheric piece produced in Csound for Android on a simple Samsung S6 phone. Generative/aleatoric, using a modeled plucked string opcode, the mandel opcode (based on the Mandelbrot set) to randomly choose notes from a minor scale, and a custom pad sound using a combination of additive/subtractive synthesis. All notes and durations, amplitudes, panning etc. for both instruments are randomized so the piece never sounds exactly the same when rendered.

Mandela - a Csound piece using the Mandelbrot set (see description)

* sound from Behringer Neutron, completely monophonic
* driven through Csound delay, stereo-widening, and reverb opcodes
* MIDI notes derived using custom process using my own software
* tuning: 17edo

Hermann Ambrosius - 6 Bagatelle - Suite in G major

...on the edge, this algorithmic piece attempts to balance between ambient music and something that could fall dangerously out of control at any moment.

Created in Csound for Android using a single wavetable instrument that utilizes 100 waveforms &  a crude but fairly effective spectral delay. Completely written using only text on a Samsung phone.

Examples of a few custom wavetables. They are created algorithmically within Csound. The first section features harmonic & inharmonic partial wavetables, the second uses a single wavetable derived from noise (random numbers). With both sections there are no filters used or any modifications except some reverb - it's straight wavetable playback. There is slow random modulation of the fundamental pitch on some of the noise table notes, via the instr, but all other amp/freq mod that can be heard are inherently generated by the tables.

Custom wavetables example (see description)

Another custom wavetable created with random lengths of exponential/logarithmic segments. 64 tables/frames, 2048 samples. However the UDO can create a wavetable of any user-defined number of tables & samples (table size). Generally the table size should be a power of two as some random tables are created with a little FFT modification. There are no filters used or any other modifications (no AM, PM, PWM or effects) except added reverb. This example is a single sustained note.

Custom wavetable example 2 (drone; see description)

A single (and very long) drone note, slowly morphing thru a wavetable created algorithmically in Csound using random values. No filters or effects except reverb. There is modulation of the fundamental freq on the left channel to add movement & some stereo widening. This is not intended as a "piece", only as an example of the wavetable.

Custom wavetable example 3 (one note drone; see description)

Created to honour International Drone Day. https://droneday.org/ One note drone (two notes added at the end), uses an algorithimically created 64 frame wavetable created and played in Csound for Android. No extra processing was used except reverb. Not so much a musical piece as a demonstration.
