me too. - Well I really like it! the beginning reminded me a bit of
Ligeti violins.

What's it about? 'you're raised by beautiful nudes'? ;)

heh, when listening, I was thinking that Ascensio could make a cool
soundtrack for a film. it's well composed. Are the videos going to be
online as well?

around second 87 in Ascensio Nudae Baetae I've missed some Tom Waits
like "weird instruments from the barn" to go along with the synth
chords. It feels a bit "too programmed" at this stage. (just a feeling:
take a Mic, Moog&Sledgehammer or a coffee-cup,crowbar & wah-pedal and
old harp may also do some good - maybe you can even translate that into
Csound ;)

my crappy laptop speakers are no good for Aura Amara. I'm looking
forward to listen later today. - I haven't read the novel yet; but
that's the 3rd time that I heard about it in the last few days.. I'll
surf over to amazon ;)

Would you mind sharing how you've done that? is this pure Csound or did
you overdub/master with ardour/jamin..?
