Pink Floyd’s sound and light shows in the 1960s defined psychedelia, but their later recordings combined rock, orchestral music, literature, and philosophy. Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall ignored pop music’s usual strictures to focus on themes of madness, despair, brutality, and alienation. Here, 16 scholars set delve into the heart of Pink Floyd by examining ideas, concepts, and problems usually encountered not in a rock band’s lyrics but in the pages of Heidegger, Foucault, and Sartre. These include the meaning of existence, the individual’s place in society, the contradictions of art and commerce, and the blurry line between genius and madness. The band’s dynamic history allows the writers to explore controversies about intellectual property, the nature of authorship, and whether wholes, especially in the case of rock bands, are more than the sum of their parts.

Free Download Art Directing Explosions Using Axiom in Houdini – Create a Barrel Explosion Using Houdini, Axiom & Nuke
Ganesh Lakshmigandan | Duration: 7:44 h | Video: H264 1920×1080 | Audio: AAC 44,1 kHz 2ch | 3,23 GB | Language: English
Discover how to create a professional explosion shot in this 7.5-hour workshop with Ganesh Lakshmigandan, Senior FX Technical Director at Weta FX. From analyzing references to completing the final composite, Ganesh walks you through the entire creation process.
Ganesh demonstrates how to use the Axiom Solver (version 3.1 or higher) in Houdini 20 to create all the pyro simulations. He teaches every pro trick in the book to achieve a realistic-looking sim, including accurate shading and lighting.
Solaris/Karma XPU is used to shade, light, and render the shot. Ganesh reveals how to use the latest karma volume shader and take advantage of the latest features to achieve visually realistic-looking volume renders. In the final stage of the workshop, you’ll then tackle the Nuke composite of all the rendered elements.

This is an expository account of work on strong forms of the Axiom of Determinacy (AD) by a group of set theorists in Southern California, in particular by W. Hugh Woodin. The first half of the book reviews necessary background material, including the Moschovakis Coding Lemma, the existence of strong partition cardinals, and the analysis of pointclasses in models of determinacy. The second half of the book introduces Woodin’s axiom system $\mathrm{AD}^{+}$ and presents his initial analysis of these axioms. These results include the consistency of $\mathrm{AD}^{+}$ from the consistency of AD, and its local character and initial motivation. Proofs are given of fundamental results by Woodin, Martin, and Becker on the relationships among AD, $\mathrm{AD}^{+}$, the Axiom of Real Determinacy, and the Suslin property. Many of these results are proved in print here for the first time. The book briefly discusses later work and fundamental questions which remain open. The study of models of $\mathrm{AD}^{+}$ is an active area of contemporary research in set theory.

With Axiom, Blue cat Audio offers a mixture of multi-effect processor and amp simulation for guitars and basses. Based on the popular "Destructor" plug-in, Axiom delivers an infinite number of tones, consisting of two amp simulation channels (with pre and post effects) that can be mixed or alternatively used like a real amp. Users can choose from hundreds of presets or the amp editor, which gives them complete control over the sound and shapes it. Additional input and master sections with 4 effect slots each allow sound shaping, while a brickwall limiter protects the output from"too hot" signals.
