Does anyone on this list know Rich? A few years ago I ran into a zip file of Pure Data patches allegedly from the twisted mind of Rich James. They were absolutely mental (lookng at a pd patch lets you see directly into the composers mind) I've always been curious if they were really his.

Possibly the patches released by Autechre, I have seen them mislabeled as Apex Twin. Can you link or share them somewhere?

  That might make sense. tbh they sounded more like Plaid/Black Dog so maybe Autechre. I'll have a dig but unlikely I'll find them in the abysmal heap. iirc they were posted via the old puredata forum so maybe check wayback.

    Doing some digging and all I found was some patches doing Autechre like things and the Autechre patches where Max/MSP patches from the EP7 era that came out around 2008 and were supposedly leaked but I remember Autechre releasing some patches within the last decade, not finding anything though, search engines are not what they were and neither is my memory. I forgot all about Plaid and Black Dog, thanks for the reminder. Can't find a working link to 2008 EP7 era patch. Later I will dig out the old hard drives and see if I have them saved somewhere.

  Autechre never really used PD so it’s unlikely to be them.

    >never really used Are you saying they don't use it or do use it just not a great deal? I am fairly certain I first learned about pd back around the turn of the century from an interview with Autechre where they mentioned using it but I have no idea to what extent they used it. It might have been Max/MSP for the patches which often can be easily run in pd with some minor changes and sometimes works just fine without changes.

      Sean in his recent, very long “quick AMA” twitch stream said he had played with it a little bit but they didn’t really make anything with it, such is the overlap with Max with which they were already invested.
