Algorithmic August kicks off with Skueue, builder of the unnamed machine in Pure Data. This is an abstract, idea-filled episode packed to the brim with insights about the process. Our points of focus include a discussion of how writing affects software, uncommon disagreement about common practice, VST's in PD, programming cadences, rootful resolutions, clowntone heptatonica, and SAMPLING. Eventually, we decide that algorithmic music written to sound as its author intended is a success.
