Excerpt from article:

<< My final example is Pure Data. Unlike the previous two examples, Pure
Data is not a textual language, but it is just as open ended. In Pure Data
you create 'patches' rather than programs, by connecting together boxes,
each of which carries out an operation on the data that passes through it.
The result is a graph through which data flows. The final destination is
most often an audio output, however Pure Data is also increasingly popular
among visual artists and VJs, using libraries such as GEM and pdp to
create live visuals. Although Pure Data doesn't require you to learn a
programming language as such, the operations it allows are very low level.  
Luckily the examples are excellent, but to fully understand and go beyond
them you'll need to pick up some understanding of sound synthesis or
visual models. >>
