I just bought a mid century accordion a few days ago, and the amount of chords it can do with one button is incredible, not to mention the number of instruments it can emulate (9 on one side, 5 on the other). As a primarily digital artist, I am embarrassed to say how easy it is to forget the analog precursors of our modern tools.
- acidburnNSA 7y agoIn nuclear engineering, we use computational fluid dynamics programs and fancy neutronics codes to model reactor concepts. I was reading some history recently and found that back in the nuclear heyday they just used plastic cutouts and flowed special fluids that defracted light differently when under tension to design components. They also used electrically conductive paper and cut it out into odd shapes and applied a voltage since resistance is an analog of both neutron diffusion and heat transfer. Wild.
