All synthesized with the analog synth module in AVS. Three instances are 
used:

analog + Moog filter
analog + waveguide filter
analog + waveguide filter + Moog filter

Everything treated to a very fine global reverb.

It's definitely experimental. I used the AVS Cmask tools to create 
tendency masks, so the outcome varies from performance to performance.

I also regard this sort of thing as available for anyone else to hack 
away at, i.e. anyone is welcome to make use of it as they like. Feel 
free to fit it with your musical ideas too. :)

Thanks for listening/watching, Atte. AVS is rather difficult to get 
going, it has a cryptic GUI, and it takes some time to master. But I 
like it a lot, it's my favorite tool for composing with Csound, and I 
think its visuals can be very cool.

Best,
