As with the rest of the festival we’ll be mixing mechanisms with the…
In the years that I’ve been creating things in Pure Data I have amassed quite a collection of unfinished and messy patches. Over the last few days I have been releasing a few of these patches and techniques that I implement when programming in Pure Data. Live Coding The last tutorial isn’t that much…
