The 1989 Belgian techno anthem Pump Up the Jam.

[–] 404@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Pump Up the Jam is an anagram of 'Jump Up the Pump'.

This song was played five times in a row at the funeral of director Stanley Kubrick.

Techtronic's home planet, Earth, consists of 70% water.

If you isolate the individual drumbeats from this song and arrange them in a circle, it unlocks a cheat mode that allows you to pass through solid surfaces at will.

When Pump Up the Jam was first broadcast, audiences feared it was real, and that jam would be pumped into their homes.

The lyrics give clues to the location of a buried golden hare that has never been found.

[–] 404@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Technotronic got their name by combining the word 'techno', meaning a sort of dance music, and 'tronic' meaning 'tronic'.

The original 12-inch release of Pump Up The Jam came with a free horse.

At 7.16pm on December 28th 1879, Dundee's Tay Bridge collapsed as a train passed over it. 60 passengers lost their lives.

Other musical acts whose names begin with 'T' include The Cure, The Isley Brothers, and The Velvet Underground.

It shouldn't be overlooked that the initials of the song as PUTJ, which was the Myers-Brigg personality type (problematic-unfettered-thoughtful-judgemental) of the lead singer who was combating Foot-In-Mouth disease at the time.

Let S be an endless string which is a concatenation of every binary counting in succession, starting from zero all the way to infinity (without left zero-padding):

S = 01101110010111011110001001101010111100110111101111...
(from concatenating 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, and so far)

Let S' be a set of every sequential group of octets (8 bits) from string S, which can be represented as a base-10 number (between 0 and 255), like so:

S'_2 = [01101110, 01011101, 11100010, 01101010, 11110011, 01111011, ...]
S'_10 = [110, 93, 226, 106, 243, 123, ...]

I'd create an audio wave file whose samples are each octet from S'_10 as 8-bit audio samples, using a really low sampling rate (such as 8000 Hz or even 4000 Hz).
That sound, that particular sound, is what I'd transmit to the cosmos: the binary counting, something with a detectable pattern (although it'd be not so easily recognizable, but something that one could readily distinguish from randomness noise).

Or maybe the brown note. If it was ever going to work it'd be through this.

Ok ignoring the fact that this isn't a speaker, if it was and the question is what would I play on a speaker this size, then probably this.

I'm really surprised nobody else posted this. My first thought was Goldeneye 64's snow level soundtrack. 😮 Like I could hear it just looking at this image lol.

Thanks for the wiki link, OP. You sent me down a pleasing rabbit hole reading about the large radiotelescopes built by the USSR.

And also, completely tangentially, I have nostalgia for playing the very first Destiny game because the environments were designed with those early USSR Deep Space program aesthetics.
