Over the past year or more, I’ve been obsessed with carillons and other bell-like instruments. This has resulted in three major works (or rather, projects) for this class of instruments/performers; some versions (they are legion) have involved Csound, some not.
All are live performance, and Csound is involved as performance platform for actual (MIDI-controlled) carillons or for carillon samples, and as auto-performer for both. It also auto-records MIDI Csound performances that can drive MIDI-controlled carillons.
All this led to a side project, just finished: a setup that allows practice claviers/keyboards to play a variety of carillon sample sets (via MIDI - practice baton claviers duplicate the carillon playing mechanism). Performers need to practice in private! - but they also need to hear the sounds, or something similar, to those of an actual carillon.
Hence my project, entitled “A Carillon Sample Player for Practice Claviers”
