Tricone RC Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 That's pretty IDM, but it would be beaten by a random LFO generated by neutrino counts from SNOLAB, then broadcasted past a black hole to crease a phase distortion via gravitational lensing. (it would be pretty ae anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adieu Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Aluminium foil is spelled as aluminum foil in the states. Hence, the misspelling and surprise at the pronunciation. In North America, aluminium foil is known as aluminum foil. It was popularized by Reynolds Metals, the leading manufacturer in North America. In the United Kingdom and United States it is, informally, widely called tin foil, for historical reasons (similar to how aluminum cans are often still called "tin cans"). Metallised films are sometimes mistaken for aluminium foil, but are actually polymer films coated with a thin layer of aluminium. In Australia, aluminium foil is widely called alfoil.

JS20 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Yes, Do not question the pronunciation of a word you can't even spell. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium#Etymology Cornish inventor Humphry Davy briefly called it alumium and then settled on AlumiNUM. An anonymous high-society snob decided INIUM sounded more bombastic. The international chemistry standards organization acknowledges both as valid, and they use both internally ~50/50.

Guest skibby Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 no, i would be removing the air (the air is a kind of filter so without air, we would be using hardware membranes or cords (formerly acoustic instruments) to produce electronic music without any room or air acoustics), recording the movement of the membranes in space, in 2.5d, in a vacuum. so, with the air removed, a drum might resonate in space longer, and powerful IDM computers can LIDAR that (thats laser radar, uber IDM) and then experiment with ways of summing the data and putting those movements on a wavestave. so pretty much electric acoustic, interpreted and mixed by a super secret IDM algo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
