max/msp/jitter is fantastic! i was quite obsessed with it a few years ago. it is a very elegant programming environment.
i was thinking of getting back into it given my hobby interest in music (and being i am more of a computer geek than musical) hey, we could trade patches =) and i just yesterday upgraded my jitter license ===D
its ... just... so... much....! I know that the first month or so of it will be the biggest hurdle, im eager to get to the fantastic part ;) so i dont have any patches of my own to send you yet! but someday! meanwhile, i'm using max for everything but sound at the moment... the *plan* is to become skilled enough by the end of this to be able to use it fluidly for whatever i want.
basically i want to make a patch that will make me my toast and coffee in the morning. loadbang---->breakfastinbed.
nothing really. it was all just playing around. i never used it for music either. and before jitter came along and made everything so complicated (and technical) there was nato+0.55 and that was much more fun. so i used to make all kinds of weird stuff. i made the webcam i use (when i use a webcam) i upgraded jitter in hopes i could finish it and release it into the wild. i really like the ability to interface with text to speech too. the only thing i released formally was kiss.lipstick but its MacOS9 only.
its a big learning curve for me, I havent been really intimate with this kind of thing in a very long time. Its making me nostaligic, which in itself seems backwards. i'm feeling very clumsy at the moment, but its not inhibiting. Im working on it every day at this residency, it s huge privilege.
i dont know why yet, but I keep relating this learning experience to learning talmud. my rapport with the israeli artists here is delicate enough as it is.....!

your empathy for the underpainting sends me all a-tremble.
