Darren Nelsen is an electroacoustic composer and guitarist located in  
Roswell, GA. His work has been commissioned by the Iolani School in  
Hawaii and performed by the New York Miniaturist Ensemble. Darren  
founded the Atlanta Composers Blog in 2006 and curated two seasons of  
the Atlanta Composer Group's Electronic Music Concert Series.

"'12x60' is an electroacoustic project whereby I wrote and published a  
60-second piece of music each week for twelve weeks. All pieces were  
done in Csound, each utilizing a different technique or tool that I  
wanted to learn. I used spectral fusion, sample manipulation, effects  
processing, and various kinds of synthesis including additive,  
subtractive, granular, and amplitude and ring modulation. Forcing  
myself to be creative within tight constraints was very productive,  
and I came away with a much greater understanding of Csound and  
synthesis in general. In the open spirit of Csound, I look forward to  
sharing my code and insights."

The Atlanta chapter of Dorkbot, an international forum dedicated to  
art, technology, and "people doing strange things with electricity,"  
is free and open to the public. It is hosted by the Music Department  
in the College of Architecture at Georgia Tech.
