Slime moulds are fascinating - I like this one:

anyone able to identify the music used?

Shazam thinks it's "Sir Galahad" from King Arthur's Sounds by Capitanata and the Salzburg Quartett Orchestra. I think that's a misidentification. http://www.shazam.com/track/60047546/si ... io-version

[eta] Now I'm thinking how to make a truly living sound, as analog as it gets, from slime molds. I have microscopes and laboratory video cameras, and slime molds are just about everywhere. If I were to record and measure the flow rate of protoplasmic streaming, it might be more interesting than just a sine wave. Hm.

I think it is - and there are 3-4 different tracks being used I think - thanks

You're right, there are several. I tried again with the first track, and Shazam said it's Albtrauma by Killerpilze. Is today opposite day?

There was a thread over at Gearslutz where they spoke about this.

And they were being serious.

Yeah Ive heard of people running signals through various 'old' hardware and straight back in to get... whatever.

Ive also heard of recording to the actual VCR tape...
Im a bit lazier than that, myself. I will stick with ChipCrusher and Satin.

I replaced my computer monitor with a Lite Brite.

Brainworx really needs to develop a free "bx_analogue-iness" meter.

I'd buy it in a flash! Speaking of which - should my pc be flashing when I apply the suggested fluidics to my tracks? I made sure that the coffee was organic... The sound coming out of my speakers, though, was unbelievable!

Define "should."

That's silly! It's not possible to make real art with a Lite Brite.

Or is it?

P.S.: I'm not a David Crowder Band fan but the video is really something.

Warmth is old. Old is bad. Space is cold. Space is new. Cold is the new warmth. Welcome your robot overlords.

… Therefore space is warm. Hello, robot overlords.

*disassembles robot overlords*
*uses parts to make synthesizers*
*ANALOG synthesizers, warm ones*

Ooooo, shiny!

You've done it backward. If you want an analog robot you need to build it out of the tape heads and the clock from your VCR.

Corn_Boy - what is the time there?

Lowtax - 11 pm

Corn_Boy - wow, why are you woking so late?
Corn_Boy - what kind of work do you do

Lowtax - VE and SA stuff

Corn_Boy - whats that

Lowtax - VE - Virginian Empire SA - Secretary's Alliance

Corn_Boy - is the secretarys alliance like a union

Lowtax - Kind of. Mostly we just go over to Marcie's house after work and gossip, go to the rodeos, wash cars, etc etc. We also lobby congress.
Lowtax - What do you think about robots?

Corn_Boy - the ones that make the cars?

Lowtax - No, space robots

Corn_Boy - I dont know, I havent met one yet, but I guess they would be cool

Lowtax - I am building a space robot, that's why I asked.

Corn_Boy - ok, will it be going into space?

Lowtax - I am trying. It will be a very useful robot. I am giving it AI. Do you know what that stands for?

Corn_Boy - who is al? do you not like him and is that why you are giving him to the robot

Lowtax - No, AL is my friend, AI means "Abnormal Interests". I learned that and I'm programming my robot to act like a human.

Corn_Boy - like in the disney movie

Lowtax - What is Disney? I don't watch movies, I had to use the parts from my VCR to build my space robot.

Corn_Boy - from a vcr, wow, how does that work

Lowtax - I will tell you, but it is a secret so you can't tell anybody

Corn_Boy - ok, I wont, I promise

Lowtax - I am using the CLOCK in it to have the robot tell time!!!

lowtax wrote: Corn_Boy - will it have a gun

Lowtax - NO! I am non-violent, and I do not enjoy guns and violence!!! It will have a broom and fishtank and vaccuum. The Ultimate Space Robot!

Corn_Boy - you must be real smarte to be albe to make a space robot, my parents have a dvd player thing, can you turn that into a robot, it has a lasre in it

Lowtax - I can turn everything into Space Robots!

Corn_Boy - have you made many other robots?

Lowtax - Yes, but they don't work the way they were supposed to. One was a BIG ACCIDENT my friend

Corn_Boy - what happened

Lowtax - Grandma fell down the stairs

Corn_Boy - did the robot push her was she alright

Lowtax - I misprogrammed it. I tried to do good, but the robot jumped up and pushed grandma's head and she started spitting and her teeth flew out and the robot shot sparks and grandma fell down the stairs onto my uncle.
It was the worst Christmas ever.

Corn_Boy - oh no! sparks, did anything catch on fire

Lowtax - Grandma did, but I got a Pusher robot to shove her outside into the snow.

Corn_Boy - that was lucky, we have christmass in the sumer here, so no snow, you are lucky that you live there, very lucky!

Though of course you'd need to use nixie tubes to be properly improper.

I couldn't find anyone who'd replaced the clock in a VCR with nixie tubes, although somebody must have.

They replaced the clock in the microwave in future gadget #8.

Good advice, aciddose. That must be why my robots never take over the world.

I've still got six or seven miniature nixies somewhere around here. Had 'em since the early 1970s, and I swear some day I'll make something with them. Or my heir might.

Any tips for that true "Analog" sound
