Hi Gabriel,
Projects need excellent criticism; they become moribund without it.
Matju's understanding of Pd is deep and broad, and he's not just making
noise -- the things of which he speaks are always interesting to me,
because they give insight into the inner workings of Pd.
It's easy to hear hostility in this text medium, when in reality it's
probably just passion.

I don't think Pd is an instrument, not in the sense you seem to
understand something is it.
It seems you don't have much to do or your job is not so exciting like
fixing your deficiencies by spiting those horrible arguments to people
that have more noble objectives.
You can hear yourself now, I won't reply.

Spoons are a traditional percussion instrument in my culture. The idea that
music can be made with a spoon is thus not only normal to me, it's also very
old-fashioned.
I just wanted to say that Pd is a beatiful spoon.
I hope that it can be used as much more than that. I mean, there are all
those sophisticated devices that in the end got used as doorstops and
paperweights, and I don't wish them that. I justed want to say that Pd is an
excellent kind of Pd (sic), that can be used in terms of what it is instead
of whatever else we like to compare it to.
(comparisons also become more legitimate when you carefully select the
object compared to, according to the number and depth of its
similarities...)
And if "ideally" Pd should be just a "musical instrument" that you only have
to "tune and play", it's only to go with those musicians who ideally should
understand the breadth and depth of Pd's potential, but in practice don't.
