I composed it with Podium and saved as midifile and using Python I converted that midi file into Csound Score.

There is no instrument, only harmony of sine wave/sawtooth waves. (Filtered)




Isn't it sounds good for just a sine wave...


EDIT:
A theory behind this...

Everything is just a composition of a melody. This I call harmonic composition. There is harmonic composition and also a rhythmical composition I call it "Rapid change of pitches inside of one note". Rapid change of pitches inside of one note hasn't been tried in above music yet but it's what makes a sound good. A characteristic of an instrument and musician is just composition of melody that is rapid and quiet change of pitches inside a note. And when that change expresses certain emotion voila it's a music.


What makes great musician a great musician? There are many factors. But one of them is their ability to produce such a rapid change of pitches in one note and multiple pitches in one cycle that is meaningful by practicing a lot. With computer's help, you can just do that..... without practicing.

Only problem is.... you can't make a pluasible art by just knowing a theory..... but this is a good theory.


There is change of melodies and composition of melodies and also there is change in volumes.... change in volumes produce a cycle. And that also creates a pitch thus you can make a melody by changing a volume..... blah blah....


One more note: some people think tuning an instrument to create a beautiful sound is everything but there is also a "vibration" on your finger tip when you play an instrument and that vibration is transfered to an instrument. If you can amplify that and control to produce a meaningful vibration voila.... and that's what good musicians always do...
