ronb@otc.otca.oz (Ron Barrett) (10/03/89)

I've seen references to a package called CSound written by Prof. Barry Vercoe
at MIT Media Lab.

Can anyone give me a brief summary of what its all about?

Thanks in advance,

CSOUND is a UNIX-based computer music language related to the MUSICn lan-
guages begun by Max Mathews at Bell Labs. More specifically, it is related
to MUSIC-11 written by Barry Vercoe in the 70's for the PDP-11. For more
information on computer music languages, see Dodge & Jerse "Computer Music."
CSOUND itself is available through anonymous ftp at the same site.
