Yes, if it would be code, pretty redundant. But the main point was that such a zip bomb species would be a fault of the universal system. I don't think it's that stupidly designed.

'the most logical course of action for any alien discovering another life form, is to destroy it immediately'. In that case i'd rather be destroyed than share a universe with such a species. I do not think the premise makes s

I thought that english is the worlds first language because it's very easy to learn. I would guess almost anyone can get up to basic conversation skills and learn the terms for programming in some months, and that's it. No need fo

I am always annoyed when information about interesting engineering projects is cluttered with overly complicated (but beautiful) imperial units. It's a guarantee to make an article look shallow and trivialised. Here's a very simpl

That is quite a stupid argument which you seem to just rephrase without having thought about it, as you could aswell say then that healthy eating takes some more time and consideration than running to the next fast food burger, thus you can

Musical interfaces, more than any other type of interface seem to try to 'materialise', my guess it's to compensate for the abstract a-material nature of music. There are 2 main direction this goes, for one the super slick re

All public schools should be forced by law to use free systems on free hardware, anything else seems insane.

It doesn't make much sense to call a synth either additive or subtractive if it contains both methods.
135.
by iammyIP 10y ago
yes of course, to approximate the analog filter in digital you need to calculate some nonlinearities, and could aswell go so far as simulate electric circuitry to such detail that you would need a supercomputer to run it. But that's no

I wouldnt call the sid being subtractive synthesis, just because theres a multimode filter at the end, afterall it got hardsync and ringmod, which are additive.

by iammyIP 10y ago
The sid is not a complex analog synth, it's a digital 3 poly 8 bit synth with a single analog Filter at the end of the chain. As of synthesizer architecture the sid is extremely simple and genius in design, like a skateboard many tric

Do you really think any civilisation could exist in this universe without having discovered the musical piece of 'play nothing and listen'?

Yes, and in the actual a/b tests nobody could single out the stradivari with any significance. The human performer turned out to be the most deciding factor by several magnitudes.

by iammyIP 10y ago
In historical serial music there is certainly a leftover of human interaction with the compositional rule system, so in practice it resembles more to a chaotic attractor than complete noise, i agree. The core conceptual idea of serial music

The brilliance of the stradivary is aging over centuries on a base of very good craftmanship. Why does the old stuff taste better than the new? Because it has aged well on a good base. That means today we can build much more excellent violi

Yes, that 70's disco sound. That's gone; Like a snake 'Disco' has shed its skin. My point is that the essence of disco is pretty much alive. Take that to the contrast that the innovative essence of hiphop is resampling -

Disco is not dead in a pop context? Discos are full. 4/4 Beat is the norm. Ass shaking is standard. It's everywhere. The essence of disco and ass shaking is the essence of pop. Add sonified marriage/breakup proposals to it an

These melodies, progressions and rythms you hear are not there, especially with stockhausen, as he made that absence his main point. It's the same if you talk about seeing structures in old terrestrial tv noise patterns.

I disagree - instead of calling it 'charming' i would extrapolate it to: 'a lot of art is about sexually rooted behaviour - music is made to find a mate'. I don't think that's true, because, and thats one of th

can you quickly summarise what makes trap trap and what is the special invention here?

Part of the problem is that most electric music comes as a simulated band of robots playing in a virtual space materialised as sound through a loudspeaker. Modern electronic music has more in common with a police siren than music in the cul
