Algorithmic Composition In Pure Data

This is a patch I made in Pure Data for my second year university project to explore computer aided composition. It works using live looping. Play into the patch with a midi controller to build up a basic song/tune/beat/vibe, which is then used to populate a first order markov chain, so that you are able to switch between what you played into the patch and the markov generated sequence.

I recently downloaded PD, but literally have no idea how to use it. What other equipment to I need to use to start composing with it? And where do I start trying to get a head around how things work?

Great video! Most of algorithmic music videos are not interesting because they have no explanation! but this one is a bomb :)
