I'd buy it in a flash! Speaking of which - should my pc be flashing when I apply the suggested fluidics to my tracks?

Only if you put it in the microwave, which I'm assuming you did, right?

Fixed for more up to date.

I usually dub over old Steve Miller Band 8-Tracks with my stuff, and then record it back to my crystal matrix data warehouse at 1.21 brazillion Ghz using ADDA converters made out of the hooves of adolescent polar oxen.
Im not even sure its worth it.

That was good, highkoo.

But, you cannot be a true hipster in 2016 w/o being into cassette!

That's the problem.

I go through ABBA convertres to get that prestine analog 70s sound

I switched from Intel to Amd for that extra warmth

I use this keyboard and later add water and make up

Enough typing for a while. My paws ache.

That's fantastic! It makes me wonder... no doubt the guys in white coats have looked into the similarities between these slime moulds and brain neuron assemblies. Some of the guys at BCL were constructing neuron models that could compute logical functions amongst other things. See Warren McCulloch.

I also wonder do whether slime moulds operate like the fluidics you mention. They must be computing?

Thanks.

I had one of those. Wish I had kept it. Gave it to my sister. Worked out Enola Gay OMD on it. Oh .....

I have found that UDDER converters give a really creamy tone to my heavy metal lute tracks.

But of course! I was creating a bhangra track, so I left yesterday's takeaway curry in, too.

My Nixie tube clock gets its time and location data from a satellite that's IN SPACE! That's how I get my cold digital time to sound so warm.

Not as such, I think. My understanding is that parts of the protoplasm sheet that are on a fairly short, direct route from a newly-encountered nutrition source (a "suburb") back to the origin ("Tokyo") survive and more protoplasm flows into them, while parts that carry less nutrition back die out.

The seeming map is an emergent property, a formation that's a consequence of the chemical processes that slime molds have evolved in order to transport nutrition efficiently. I suspect that those parts of the streaming protoplasm that bring nutrition leave a path of chemicals* that causes more protoplasm to stream forward along that path toward the new source. Areas of substrate that haven't had significant nutrient flow don't have a trail of those molecules, so protoplasm streams don't concentrate there and that surface thins out.

So it's a biochemical system that naturally, without computing, performs a task that's difficult for computing devices made explicitly for problem-solving.

That's my impression. I've not read any academic papers on the phenomenon. Call it a semi-educated guess. If I were the betting type I'd probably put some money on it being correct or at least close to the mechanism involved.

* either nutrient molecules or some byproduct

Any tips for that true "Analog" sound
