With a little bit of luck, you'll be all over the next batch of Ipecac 
releases (I read that Otto von Schirach just signed there)

Hey that's cool. I really liked his tracks on Force Inc/Mille Plateaux, or 
with the PuppetMastaz

A topic which isn't discussed often around here unfortunately. I started 
(self)learning recently through wikipedia, after I got inspired to play again 
with algorithmic music by a talk about how pd was used to make the music in 
the game Spore. I could do with more reader-friendly references/books though.
Most of the things I found are either too simple and stop at 3 chords songs 
and basic blues progressions, or way above my level jazz harmonies.
