the challenge was set ( inclusiveimprov.co.uk/doku.php/code:livecoding:maxmsp ) - can Max/MSP be used for live coding? what can be done with only standard Max and MSP objects, starting from scratch with an empty patch, with just 5 minutes to build...

It took me 2 min to get the sound going on this, my first live code composition. I might do another take at the same idea some time, but there are other ideas to explore...

5 minutes is enough time to get something going in Max, another 5 min to explore and expand the sounds would be welcome, but that's not the point of this project. So, with some practice maybe a self contained, start to end piece of music could be possible within the remit... we'll see
