When I was much younger and still learning the ropes in electronic music, I wrote a REAL bad Max patch and improvised with it. At the time I was still completely terrified of the idea of improvising (I can now proudly proclaim that I’m only mostly uncomfortable), and used this patch to prop myself up. Over the years I forgot how the patch worked, and I renamed it the “Digital Crutch”. I still drag the poor thing out now and again to perform with a tool that, as the years go on, I understand less and less.
