dreamy ambient kinda stuff
made some pretty neat abstractions for this one like a tr808 cymbal generator
chords are generated using additive synthesis, with harmonic sine wave randomisation

thank you for making this 🖤

[@kellerglee]

This is amazing, thank you so much for not only sharing it, but uploading the whole patch!! I’m also learning pd mainly for ambient music, and this is brilliant to see, especially to be able to look under the hood. Hope you will share similarly well crafted patches with us in the future!

This is awesome, just about to get started with pure data , hopefully ill be able to do stuff like this at some point!

@@argarakmusic Many thanks for sharing your music and this patch!

[@1139hawaiianpizza]

holy shit i wanna learn this

[@gabrielborin1268]

This is awesome! Loved it! I am pretty new to Pd, so hope you don't mind me asking: is it a different flavor of Pd that you are using there? If so, any reason why?

[@argarakmusic]

ty! in the video, and in general, i use the distribution "purr-data" (agraef.github.io/purr-data/ ), which is based on another distribution called "pd-l2ork". the main reason i use it is that it looks nicer, there's better zoom and the cables look cleaner heh. it does also come shipped with plugins like GEM which is convenient. it is basically chromium based, so it's like running another web browser just for pd, so it doesn't make much sense if you're concerned about resource usage or if you're trying to escape everything being based on chromium -- it feels like everything does these days.

I want to learn how to do this.

[@dschkn]

beautiful! can I somewhere download this patch?

[@argarakmusic]

yes, you can check the video description for the download links either on patchstorage or on the original battle of the bits entry!

[@jamesherndon8066]

I’d like to play this on my radio show. Could you send this song to me?

[@argarakmusic]

you didn't mention how you wanted the song sent to you so i'll just post a comment with a direct download link: nc.argarak.me/s/dBNyEtwmwfgwgfs this recording is not the same as in the video and i made it a while ago so it may not be exactly ideal post processing wise but i hope it works!

[@anthonybet]

Amazing!!! How do you bend the connections in puredata??? That makes the code much more organized.

[@argarakmusic]

ty! this recording isn't actually from the vanilla distribution of pure data, there are other distributions which use the same or similar back-end code but present a different interface and/or are bundled with extra externals or other features. in the video i use purr-data which you can find at agraef.github.io/purr-data/ and that has fancy bendy wires. it is significantly heavier as it uses nw.js which is basically like running another web browser just for purr-data but if you don't mind that then it can a bit nicer to use one thing i discovered which you might want to keep in mind is that pure data and purr data have very subtle differences and so i've had patches play well in purr data and not so well in vanilla pd, so make sure to test your patch in vanilla pd at the end if you end up using it and want full compatibility (99% of the time it should be fine)

[@anthonybet]

​@@argarakmusic Thanks! I will try it :)
