The International Csound Users Group Meeting is a monthly virtual meeting
for all those interested in learning, using, or contributing to the
development of the Csound system for computer music. Meetings are also open
to the discussion of issues of computer music in general, both musical and
technical.

Please feel free to share music, ask questions, or present technical
aspects of your own work.

The meeting is hosted and chaired by myself, Michael Gogins, on Zoom. The
time is the first Thursday of each month at 14:00 EDT. This particular
meeting has been postponed because of News Years Day. Meetings can
accommodate up to 100 participants with reasonably good audio quality, and
normally last from one to two hours.

In this meeting, I will present work I am doing to use =E2=80=9Czooming in=
=E2=80=9D to the
Mandelbrot as a method of generating scores from Jullia sets generated from
points in the Mandelbrot set. This is an example of what I call =E2=80=9Cpa=
rametric
composition=E2=80=9D =E2=80=93 composing by exploring a parametric map for =
a compositional
algorithm.

Pease email me at [email protected] to suggest your own topics for
presentation or discussion. Suitable topics include:

   -

   Questions on how to install or configure Csound.
   -

   Questions on how best to use Csound.
   -

   Presentation of new techniques for sound synthesis or algorithmic
   composition with Csound.
   -

   Presentation of new features in Csound.
   -

   Presentation of new tools to be used with Csound or to augment Csound.
   -

   Presentation of music made with Csound or other electroacoustic music.
