Cicadas Song

by Jim Redfarn

This is randomly-generated music and so this recording is just one example of the music that could be produced when the generating program is run.

The idea came from a radio program about Japanese insects. It was called 'Insect Musicians'. I had fun finding out how to create random delays between the calls of the 'insects'. The random delays are to me part of the fascination of insect sounds. Of course, the piece never plays the same twice!
