well, maybe he explains it too technically? i noticed from your notes the other day he's talking about C code and numbers. i first picked up a copy of max to assist a musician friend and couldn't make heads nor tails of the program whereas he had no problem getting into it at all (he played, the computer followed his notes, it was like magic at the time). i didnt understand it til i had something i wanted to make and needed to solve very specific issues. mainly just playing around with video streams and such. maxheads tend to be rrreally into programming and math :p but the program is much more organic than that. after awhile hopefully it will fall into place with your own logic.

T didnt even use computer until 2 years ago. He's a classicist. So we're doing this in Latin, German and English...!
he said max came to him very easily bc of ancient greek.
we connect on theory, language, performance, theatre... and very soon i will be learning patches etc directly in relation to my project.
in my first couple of lessons my own logic was very influenced by talmud study, and was constantly trying to impose, in typical north american style, a subjectivity to the thing -- meaning/metatext, bc of the imprinting I have from traditional relgious learning. I'm trying to lose this logic for now, to learn the language in a neutral way. Otherwise, with all this 'loaded bang' stuff, all I can think about is sex. ;D

it's so funny, I have to ask him to keep repeating everything again and again, and we're flailing about in different languages...
meanwhile I think someone uzi'd the skype!
