I have been programming with Max since 2007. It was my first programming language, and I learned a ton from it. This is a living repo with most, if not all, of the Max patches I've made, starting since then and continuing to now (notably with my dissertation, which can be found here).
Particularly of interest to me are generative sound and video systems, trans-modal mapping (sound to image, image to sound), unique interfaces and mapping schema, and novel types of sound synthesis (especially those that demonstrate complex behavior).
