Things that are IDM as Fuck

Now I know what Poseidon's farts look like.

Wha-a-a-a-at is thaaaaat?!

its a picture of a series that hangs in the berghain club in berlin its over 4 meters long

2 of them are in berghain next to a giant vagina picture

this is another one of the freischwimmer series by tillmanns

so very idm

and these game covers

shadow of the beast sucks, but you couldn't tell from the cover

I'm pretty sure Roger Dean artwork is associated with a genre that is not IDM

I had no idea anybody famous made the artwork

Is this Victorian electronic music, or is it just steampunk?

Tesla coils. Electronic music as all fuck.

what I imagine RDJ's vault looks like ^^^^^^^

Actually come to think of it, tesla coils are not very electronic music. My ex built one in the living room while I was trying to make music on my laptop in the bedroom and it nearly fried everything to shit. :(

How about violet ray machines?

(apologies in advance for any jazzwank but I have just spent a happy afternoon reading this thread and didn't see any of the above in it.)

Laser Fusion

  Quote

A major hurdle to producing fusion energy using lasers has been swept aside, results in a new report show.

 

Proving that such a lab-based fusion reaction can release more energy than is required to start it - rising above the so-called breakeven point - could herald a new era in large-scale energy production.

 

"The bottom line is that we can extrapolate those data to the experiments we are planning this year and the results show that we will be able to drive the capsule towards ignition," said Dr Glenzer.

 

Before those experiments can even begin, however, the target chamber must be prepared with shields that can block the copious neutrons that a fusion reaction would produce.

 

But Dr Glenzer is confident that with everything in place, ignition is on the horizon.

He added, quite simply, "It's going to happen this year."

This is not IDM ^^^^^^^^ This is a disco ball. Which is clearly D.I.S.C.O. as fuck.

old news, undoubtedly jazz:

Japan's melody roads play music as you drive

 

Motorists used to listening to the radio or their favourite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.

A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of "melody roads", which use cars as tuning forks to play music as they travel.

 

The concept works by using grooves, which are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. Just as travelling over small speed bumps or road markings can emit a rumbling tone throughout a vehicle, the melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.

 

Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, enabling cunning designers to create a distinct tune.

 

Patent documents for the design describe it as notches "formed in a road surface so as to play a desired melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones".

 

There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan - one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Notice of an impending musical interlude, which lasts for about 30 seconds, is highlighted by coloured musical notes painted on to the road. According to reports, the system was the brainchild of Shizuo Shinoda, who accidentally scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer before driving over them and realising that they helped to produce a variety of tones.

 

The designs were refined by engineers at the institute in Sapporo. The team has previously worked on new technologies including the use of infra-red light to detect dangerous road surfaces.

 

But motorists expecting to create their own hard rock soundtrack could find themselves struggling to live the dream. Not only is the optimal speed for achieving melody road playback a mere 28mph, but locals say it is not always easy get the intended sound.

 

"You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well," wrote one Japanese blogger. "Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12mph has a slow-motion effect, making you almost car sick."

While the disco ball might not be IDM as fuck, the guts of it and its intended purpose are both IDM as fuck.

Your mother is IDM as fuck.

mantle plumes

Wow. Just... WOW.

There's just something really oddly sexual about that. Like a penis with fallopian tubes. Or a really huge cthulhonic beastie. I like it.

Cthulhu is a fictional cosmic entity.

Cthulhu is IDM as fuck.

and fictional.

what the hell is cthulu

some shit to do with benzene rings and partial or total bond saturation, is that how chemists describe it?
