Tom Hall on Trip Computer, computer music on vinyl, and that “Max Sound”

Deep in the annals of software’s virtual guts, its wires and nodes, what defines patching on the computer is that it’s eminently human. Perhaps in this age of instant results, that’s drawing a new generation to the manual, personal labor of computer construction. So now is a perfect time for Max-patching musician Tom Hall — and no one better to interview him than our friend David Abravanel.

Cycling ’74 asked artists to make a collaborative Max drum kit – and shared the patches

Kick, snare, hat, tom, and sequencer – the makers of Max remind us that patching your own drum machine gives you something unique. And they invited four artists to join in with some creative ideas. Grab the patches and see what you can learn.
