Description: It's that time of the month! No, not that time of the month, you filthy bugger. The time of the month where I pull an all-nighter and write a track. This one turned out to be ambient, and I'm quite happy with it. I hope it serves as an appropriate 'sorry' for that awful, awful dubstep track I made. And deleted.

A new summer sound from Manchester producer..

Task 3 - The Positive Train Of Thought

All aboard the positive train of thought
It's the happiest place I know
It's a wonderful place to go yeah

Batten down, were making our way up north
Sit down with a friendly face
Or stand up for the real pace


Choo choo, the tickets free, ya' gotta
Choo choose yeah, it's all on me because
You deserve to be happy
You deserve to be happy

Choo choo, it's up to you, ya' gotta
Choo choose what you gonna' do because
You deserve to be happy


Al aboard the positive train of thought
I feel cool, yeah I feel fine
Just a' give yourself a bit more time

Speeding up now, were bombing it down the track
Would you like another beverage
Followed by another haemorrhage,


Choo choo, the tickets free, ya' gotta
Choo choose yeah, it's all on me because
You deserve to be happy
You deserve to be happy

Choo choo, it's up to you, ya' gotta
Choo choose what you gonna' do because
You deserve to be happy


I'd just like to remind passengers of our specials today
Serenity, compassion and delight
Please feel free to take full advantage of the on board water supply
And we should be arriving at our final destination shortly


Choo choo, the tickets free, ya' gotta
Choo choose yeah, it's all on me because
You deserve to be happy
You deserve to be happy

Choo choo, it's up to you, ya' gotta
Choo choose what you gonna' do because
You deserve to be happy

The Silk Pavilion explores the relationship between digital and biological fabrication on product and architectural scales.

The primary structure was created of 26 polygonal panels made of silk threads laid down by a CNC (Computer-Numerically Controlled) machine. Inspired by the silkworm’s ability to generate a 3D cocoon out of a single multi-property silk thread (1km in length), the overall geometry of the pavilion was created using an algorithm that assigns a single continuous thread across patches providing various degrees of density.

Overall density variation was informed by the silkworm itself deployed as a biological “printer” in the creation of a secondary structure. A swarm of 6,500 silkworms was positioned at the bottom rim of the scaffold spinning flat non-woven silk patches as they locally reinforced the gaps across CNC-deposited silk fibers. Following their pupation stage the silkworms were removed. Resulting moths can produce 1.5 million eggs with the potential of constructing up to 250 additional pavilions.

Affected by spatial and environmental conditions including geometrical density as well as variation in natural light and heat, the silkworms were found to migrate to darker and denser areas. Desired light effects informed variations in material organization across the surface area of the structure. A season-specific sun path diagram mapping solar trajectories in space dictated the location, size and density of apertures within the structure in order to lock-in rays of natural light entering the pavilion from South and East elevations. The central oculus is located against the East elevation and may be used as a sun-clock.

Parallel basic research explored the use of silkworms as entities that can “compute” material organization based on external performance criteria. Specifically, we explored the formation of non-woven fiber structures generated by the silkworms as a computational schema for determining shape and material optimization of fiber-based surface structures.
