2012 Most IDM Tournament

[Root5]

16 competitors remain.

 

The top 2 seeds, Abandoned cities and Factories at night, are still in the game, winning easy victories over Owls and Caves respectively.

 

Autism and Masturbating furiously, which both had strong fan support, lost last round. We have yet to see who their fans will mobilize behind.

 

Slime molds and Huge machinery both overtook their competitors after initially falling behind.

 

The brackets can be viewed here: http://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=424823

 

Voting in this round ends April 1st, around 10-11 Vancouver time.

[Soloman Tump]

damn, This tournament is always contraversial! Im now behind slime molds to win. And gaarg as backup!

[Root5]

Just for clarification, this is the official thread for round 3. Sorry about posting it 3 times. Hopefully the board clears up soon.

[Guest Adam]

Gaarg is an ovious winner right now imo

[gmanyo]

Now that autism is gone I'm rooting for skyscrapers.

[Hoodie]

Autism is gone? Jesus christ, people. It's probably THE most IDM mental state. Urgh.

[murve33]

I'm so happy Slime Molds won!

 

I think Bioluminescent trees are going to have it rough in this bracket.

We're only at 19 votes, bro. Don't put on your patines in a rush, now.

[murve33]

I meant I was happy that Slime Molds won against MSPaint.

And I'm just saying bioluminescent trees will have it rough because "Being Socially Awkward and Uncomfortable" is pretty popular in general.

[Root5]

I don't see Bioluminescent trees making it through this round, but we'll have to see.

 

It's looking like Infinity might take down the number one seed.

 

Also, in case this wasn't obvious, I'm probably going to extend this round until watmm is fixed, and a decent number of folks have voted.

[foresense]

infinity all the way man! (get it get it?)

[Root5]

I'm hoping for Slime molds vs www.gaarg.tumblr.com in the final match.

[Guest zaphod]

watmm mobile theme, hands down

[Goiter Sanchez]

I'm thinking this is likely to be a fairly dark ambient/industrial sounding comp...

[lumpenprol]

wow, that was easy and for a change i really like most of these semifinalists (although - shame, strandbeest and autism killers!)

1) abandoned cities (well, both of these options are bad, but infinity is boring, particularly so when as inspiration for music)

2) bioluminescent trees

3) slime molds

4) now this one is tough. On the one hand, I'm a big supporter of ice water with ice. On the other hand, I think terraforming planets has so many more possibilities, musically. So I had to go with terraforming, forgive me Iain C.

5) space stations, no contest

6) gaarg

7) quantum foam, have no idea what it is but I imagine a bubbly, interstellar comp coming out of this one

8) SPISH. I know incomplete skyscrapers had everyone's panties wet this year, but SPISH is one of my all-time faves. IDM has surely fully explored it's adolescent, angsty phase (come to daddy, confield, ect) - isn't it time for a collection of confident, mature, but still forward looking tunes? The bossa nova of IDM, stylish and refined? The kind that can experience the end of "2001" and then turn towards the camera with a sly wink and say "I get it man, I get it"

[Goiter Sanchez]

If gaarg's tumblr won most IDM this year, what would it sound like? I am imagining it sounding somewhat like this...

 

[gaarg]

In gratitude of your love for my tumblr I have uploaded two old pics from the wrong ms paint thread!

What's that second one from the top; Krang inside the torso of an old woman?

 

[gaarg]

I've been asked that same question before I think. The answer is again no, its a eel.

[Guest ansgaria]

Danish documentarist, radiohost and a shitload of other things, Morten Vammen, in the beginning of the 90's.

 

 

 

 

Two TB-303's on both sides of the vest.

 

Pretty IDM and techno.

nominatins over brah

[Cryptowen]

I submitted Terraforming Planets so that's mah horse now.

 

I also said Being Socially Awkward but I have no idea what a compilation for that would be like. Probably either really emo or over the top goofy.

[Guest theSun]

i wasn't going to submit a track (because i haven't written anything since last year....) but if gaarg wins i'll have to rig something up..

[Atop]

world's most boring idm tournie ever
