Guest Lady kakapo Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 "The music he took on the mission to the Moon was deeply eccentric," says Smith. "Most astronauts took one classical piece, and one country and western. "Armstrong took Dvorak's New World Symphony. But the other was theremin music - that eerie, wavy sound associated with sci-fi movies that goes 'woo woo'. On one hand it was the most perfect thing he could take, on the other it is massively eccentric - and that's kind of him." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/8133835.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDobalina Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hmm it's a close one, but if I gotta give my most IDM to one Armstrong it's: * Hon. Mention to Lance Armstrong for beating cancer with one ball and getting away with doping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 277: 930-933 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Lance Armstrong is the exact opposite of IDM. He's much too wholesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A/D Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 as far as astronauts go, ed mitchell is pretty IDM. from a summary of one of his books . . As he hurtled earthward through the abyss between the two worlds, Mitchell became engulfed by a profound sensation-“a sense of universal connectedness.” He intuitively sensed that his presence, that of his fellow astronauts, and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process and that the glittering cosmos itself was in some way conscious. The experience was so overwhelming Mitchell knew his life would never be the same. The direction his work would take for the next twenty-five years was another journey of sorts, one that would carry him inward as he explored the ineffable mystery of consciousness and being. Having been reared in a Southern Baptist family and gone on study the revolutionary sciences of the day a MIT, he felt the need to reconcile what had always been thought of as separate in his life and in the Western mind-science and religion. Consequently, in the early 1970s, Mitchell left NASA to found the Institute of Noetic Sciences. The Institute allowed him to initiate research in areas of study previously neglected by mainstream science. Through his work, Mitchell began to construct a theory that could explain not only the mystery of human consciousness, but the psychic event as well-what the spiritualist refers to as “miracle” and the scientist dismisses altogether. His story culminates in a new “dyadic” model of reality that brings consciousness into the equation of how our self-aware universe works. What he reveals through this model is that we live in a universe that is not predetermined by the laws of physics, nor preordained by deities, nor infinitely malleable. While human intentions are generally subject to the laws of physics, these laws are also influenced by mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dylan Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Unfortunately, no one can be told what IDM is. You have to see it for yourself My memories of the entire Matrix thing is starting to fade out, but was this rock/mountain set really in one of the movie?

Guest Great Maker ShaiHulud Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 That's probably a production photo. In the film, I think you can see those rocks, but the background is a CG shot of the wasteland. Maybe that angle wasn't used though. hmmm that TV looks wrong though. Maybe because I recently saw Videodrome again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dylan Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yeah but isn't that the blue/red pill scene? The chair he's sitting is the same. I,m not a fan of those movies at all, but that production shot seems... odd Perhaps the scene in the movie was a reshoot. fucking "other styles" not working...

Root5 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 He is very IDM, yes, but I think the most IDM man in the world is David Attenborough. That guy has worked tirelessly his whole life to reveal to the world everything that is IDM about the world. Well, not everything, but like 50% of it.

Guest Enter a new display name Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 This article mentions numerous times how Neil Armstrong is mysterious and never makes public appearances. It is obviously because he has never landed on the moon! Stanley Kubrick secretly directed the fake landing, so everybody thought that was real.

Yes, while it's not exactly Stravinsky, it's towards the idm end of the spectrum of classsical music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
