big ups to root5.

 

just to clarify, in case there is ANY confusion.. 

"A video of a dude with small (but still within the range or normal) legs, jamming on synth that are powered from a car battery in Southbank, while people walk by with angry expressions and a sing old bearded drunk man dances gleefully" is referring to ..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dang, I missed that one.

And I cannot edit my vote, only delete it.

 

*prays to all of the available deities that it gets through so I can vote next round*

 

 

You can look for the blue stars next to the items you voted for, and create a list of them.

 

That way you can revote for all the same items after you delete you vote, but add/remove any changes as desired. Sorry it's a hassle, the board doesn't have the best poll software for this type of poll.

 

EDIT: Wearing headphones without listening to anything pulls into the lead!

I'm rooting for MRI machines cause they're the most IDM experience I've ever had in real life. Those sounds are the stuff of IDM fever dreams.

 

I'm really curious what an album based on wearing headphones and listening to nothing would sound like tho...

"I just do some soft padding, just medium low."

 

He really does deserve a win. There's usually some natural phenomenon which get's pretty far, I'm guessing the really poisonous or really black stuff.

 

Some decent entries this year, could go anywhere.

It's finally here. Vote for as many topics as you like. The top 64 will make it into bracketology.

 

Since we have so many topics, we might go with the top 128 instead...

 

One small limitation is you have to vote for at least one in each category. Sorry! I randomized the order to reduce the chances of bias.

 

Since my schedule's more busy this year than previous years, I don't know exactly when I'll close this. But I'll leave it up for at least a week, probably 2. I'll give some notice before closing it.

 

EDIT: I apologize for the typos. I'll be more rigorous when we narrow down the list a bit...

 

Root you are a king and to everyone sorry if I started the thread too early or too late or at all or everything SORRY GUYS I am bad at watmm, but I still think the syntezatory.net.pl guy should win even though obviously he won't. I laughed aloud (la is the new lol) at many of these because you are all amazing humans, I hope Being botanically ignorant enough to unwittingly buy the wrong plant that will engult the entire room eventually wins because that would make an obviously great topic for an album and is also very IDM obviously.

"Buying albums on vinyl you know were producted digitally" is in the lead, followed by a tie between "Writing a long, thought-out post with multiple iterations and deciding not to post it" and "Wearing headphones without listening to anything".

This took me like 5 hours to complete, cuz I had to keep on cross-referencing my selections with my custom text-to-melody outputs of each potential selection, that I had running on my Logic 9 cluster with 12,000 instances of the Space Designer convolution reverb (75 MacPros), to check for sonic aesthetic sensibility.

 

I'm sure I made the right decisions.

Motherfuckers need to get out and Rock the Vote™, this is basically like an American election's primary and if they're not careful we're gonna end up with another Trump/Clinton situation on our hands, but far more dire and important because this is WATMM and we are singlehandedly drunk-driving this IDMSHIP to the fookin stars y'all, EVERY VOTE MATTERS (unless you live in Florida)

Wearing headphones without listening to anything needs to win

 

Iii dunno, man.  Right now I'm doing it (seriously, coincidental), and it's all right.  It's comfortable (Audio-Technica ATH-M50x), but it also makes me realize that I'm partially retarded.  I do it often at work, because I like to keep in the zone.  I sometimes even consider wearing sunglasses at work, so I protect myself from seeing the screen too vividly.  No sound and no vision can keep one in the zone.

 

Anyway, I had a friend in high school who always used to wear headphones around his neck, and sometimes he'd be wearing them on his ears and the cord was dangling not even connected to fucking anything, and it's like, "Then what the fuck you bobbing your head for, dude?", as if he was listening to some dope beats, all mumbling lyrics that he basically just pulled out of his ass.

 

So wearing headphones without listening to anything is good in the winter for warmth, but it's definitely not IDM.  It's borderline sociopath shit.  Like sometimes I'll walk around with a Zero Halliburton briefcase attached to my arm with handcuffs, and inside it's just nothing.  I bought a $400 briefcase, so I can carry around nothing.  That is what wearing silent headphones is like.  Like if you send a self-portrait of you wearing headphones with no music playing, stapled to your e-mail demo to Mike P, he's gonna fucking blacklist your e-mail address.
