Iain McCurdy is a real Csound guru, his work is always interesting and
intriguing to me, and his command of Csound and it's resources I always find
inspirational. To quote McCurdy from the email thread on the Csound mailing
list that brought this recent collection to my attention: "I think this sort
of thing is normally thought of as more SuperCollider territory, but Csound
is quite capable here also...".

Number "VI" is a real standout to me.

<http://www.iainmccurdy.org/csoundhaiku.html>There are certainly microtonal
and spectral features in these works...I'm intrigued by the idea of some of
these textures doing more 'targeted' scales like some of those under recent
discussion. In any event, I really enjoyed these textures. To me, they show
some of the possibilities of a command of a sonic imagination, electronic
music technique, and interesting algorithmic/generative procedures.

Of related note: this seems to be in the same universe as the
twitter-modelled "140 characters of SC code" SuperCollider contest:

...I bet McCurdy came across these and decided to implement related ideas in
native Csound code.
