I'm chugging away at writing some of my first music in csound, but it would help immensely to look at some other peoples' work. I've seen 3-4 files hosted somewhere, but generally speaking, there's nothing online that I can find except tutorials and howtos.
Does anyone know of a community that shares .csd or just .orc and .sco files for complete pieces, a la the .mod scene, I'd be very interested in some links or contact info.
Thanks!

Archive of compositions?

Re: Archive of compositions?
I don't think that there is any one archive available, but there are many loose collections of pieces that you can find online and elsewhere. Here are a few places to check:
a) Some people post Csound files to this website (csounds.com). Search blog entries and forums.
b) Many people post Csound files to the Csound mailing list. Try searching the archives on Nabble for something like "new piece" (although I'm not sure if attachments are available there).
c) The Bath FTP site has a collection of "classic" Csound works: ftp://earth.cs.bath.ac.uk/pub/dream/documentation/orchestras+scores/
d) The Csound book comes with a large collection of pieces by well-known Csound users and their students.
e) Some Csound composers include their CSDs on their websites. Ones that I can think of off the top of my head include John ffitch, Art Hunkins, Dave Seidel, and myself:

I'm sure there are many other resources that I am overlooking.
