AlgoScore - Music By The Numbers (Linux Journal)

Dave Phillips discovers AlgoScore, a Csound-based program for sound and music composition. "AlgoScore is not a "graphical composition" environment, i.e., the sound is not created by the graphics per se. AlgoScore supplies graphic objects, but their ultimate content and shapes result from Csound and/or Nasal code (a Nasal interpreter is included with the package). Thus, unlike other programs that simplify Csound, AlgoScore requires some knowledge of computer programming. Fortunately Csound and Nasal are relatively simple languages to learn, and even a little familiarity will take you a long way into the possibilities of AlgoScore."
