Guest hahathhat Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 if aphex can have a tank, why can't i have a studio in a silo? it'd be situated in the middle of a grassy field somewhere with sheep, and it would have oodles of circular portal windows. in the center of the silo is a motorized, deluxe command chair. it travels up and down the entire height of the silo by motor, controlled by a joystick. a circular floor cutout gives you a proper place to put your feet. the chair swivels rotationally around the lift pole, allowing 360 degree access. you go up to synthesizer depth, and there is a circle of gear around you. hungry? head down to galley depth, where you are surrounded with a fridge, microwave, and tap instead. the floorplan would approximately be as follows: Level B: Underground. Engineering, Power, Plumbing, and an indoor, underground entrance tunnel from the main compound. Level 1: Ground Level. Coat racks, Cupboards for mittens, maybe a bicycle leaning against the wall. Door to field outside. Level 2: Bathroom. Crapper. Sink. Moist Wipes. Urinal that can be used from command chair. Level 3: Galley. Fridge, Microwave, Tap, Sink, Dishes, Cabinets, Napkins, Curly Straws Level 4: Studio. Circle of gear with a gap to allow access 'round back, for recabling etc. Level D: The Top. The Dome. Completely clear and open view. Lots of pillows. Water pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marc O Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Level 1: Ground Level. Coat racks, Cups for kittens, maybe a bicycle leaning against the wall. Door to field outside. Fixed for constructive thought EDIT1: double fix for twice the thought EDIT2: THRICE FIXED FOR SPELLING ON EDIT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hahathhat Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I didn't specify dimesions! I was figuring the interior space would be something like 15-20 feet in diameter per floor. You'd be able to get off the chair and walk around a bit. Each floor would be as short as possible while still allowing you to stand comfortably.

Guest hahathhat Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 What do I need to pirate to design this sort of fing? Solidworks? Blender? I want a 3D widget, not some Autocad floorplans. It's too insane. I am confident it will just wait for me thats what they said about the internetz. It waits for no one. Take heed wat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 There's a silo within the space where a band I play bass for rehearses. (Fuck, there's something about every sentence I type today that weirds me right out.) It gets wicked reverb and I intend on using it for recording.

Guest Iain C Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 There was a website years ago which let you upload wav files before playing them in a huge disused grain silo and sending them back to you with immense natural reverb on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 There's only one other factor to consider, unless you're building your own then you'll have to settle with living in a remote part of the mid-west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hahathhat Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Think this might be something similar? http://www.silophone.net/ this is the silo-ifying site that i remember myself ! if aphex can have a tank, why can't i have a studio in a silo? Who said you can't have one? aphex twin. later, the silo magnates upheld his decision There's only one other factor to consider, unless you're building your own then you'll have to settle with living in a remote part of the mid-west. i was figuring this would be a custom construction. not sure if real silos are designed to hold weight like this.... on the other hand, i was picturing cows 'n' sheep around it.
