I decided to bring Miller on the show after hearing a fabulous interview of him by Darwin Grosse on the Art + Music + Technology podcast. Though as you’ll hear in the interview, many of them are poorer for not rethinking some of the underling assumptions of their inspiration. Node-and-wire visual programming languages are almost a cliche at this point, as the vast majority of them either borrow heavily or at least reference the visual design of Miller Puckette’s original Max patcher and its MSP/Pd offspring. Both Max/MSP and Pure Data have become wildly popular, with Max/MSP as a more polished-looking commercial product developed by Cycling ‘74 (now owned by music behemoth Ableton), and Pure Data as the thriving independent community project of hackers and techno-punks. A decade later, after some academic politics nonsense forced him away from Max, Miller went on to create its successor, the open source Pure Data.

Max had no facility for sound generation at first, but that would come eventually with the addition of MSP. Max was designed by Miller in the mid-1980s as an aid to computer-music composers who wanted to build their own dynamic systems without needing write C code. Miller Puckette created “The Patcher” Max (the precursor to Max/MSP), and later Pure Data, two of the most important tools in the history of visual programming and computer music.
