Besides it's the quality of the experience, not who gets there first...
Hell, anyone could get a three way going with a newspaper classifieds add and a telephone...
But to get a proper b-day present type one going... well you deserve a cupcake for that...
I hope it makes you feel like a rock-god...
You get both major street cred and kudos for engineering it....
Well, maybe my mind was leading me to somewhere to me 3even before reading of your unspecified b-day gifts...
Chaos theory is beautiful... It creates the wonderful art of fractals... I can't believe for a second that you can't see self-symetry in different scales within your music...
'specially in industrial music...
Just look at the protools wave forms and you'll see it... self-symetry... small bits sharing commonalities with larger bits...
Like a 100 yard wide stormcloud's similarity to an entire 1000 mile wide storm system...
Chaos theory is unmistakable all around us... and I think music is rooted in it... 4 notes, 4 bars, 4 measures... (hell I forget the notation terms, but surely you see what I'm hinting at)
Just as you construct a single measure, you construct an entire song...
Chaos theory tells us that rather than a pile of notes forming a cacophony, that the arrangement of the notes on a small scale will be reflected in the entire song...
Just as dots of red blue and yellow paint won't necessarily add together to a muddy puddle of blackish pigment, but rather instead maybe into the Mona Lisa.
The entire Mona Lisa was hinted at, the moment two pigments touched one another on the pallet...
As for superstring theory and music... well it's all about the fundamental substances of the universe being nothing other than vibrating one-dimensional closed loop strings... We're talking music here... we're talking violin concertos...
Hell Pythagoras, one of the first scientist-philosopher-magicians makes reference to the music of the spheres... to music guiding everything in heaven and earth...
He didn't know he was talking about superstring theory, but a chaos theortician looking at the whole of scientific innovation might have guessed that Pythagoras was...
You might get to musical nirvana quicker by pounding through to the summit with drum sticks in hand... but I know for a fact that you could get to the same musical vista via superstring theory...
No reason to detour though, if you're already on the way to the summit...
