In all things Pd, Frank is my guru, but I'm a devotee of the "plunge &
sink" school of using computers for making music: Dive into what looks
interesting, work there for a while, let things branch naturally, follow
them to other interesting places in the system. I think Pd lends itself
equally to rational and irrational approaches to learning and using its
system.
