“Csound is a music composition and sound programming language
originally written by Barry Vercoe at MIT.”

“Linux Csound offers terrific possibilities for real-time
computer music performance. Along with advances in real-time
support, Linux Csound can be expected to stay at the cutting edge
of synthesis methodologies, interface design, DSP algorithms and
composition strategies. It is an ideal tool for contemporary sonic
exploration and it demonstrates once again the flexibility and
power of Linux, the cutting edge OS for the modern musician.”

Author David Phillips is a composer/performer.
