Minimal Impact Audio Destruction
Oscillations occur when a system is disturbed from a position of stable equilibrium. This displacement from equilibrium changes periodically over time. Thus, Oscillations are said to be periodic, and display periodic motion. Oscillations are very common in everyday life with familiar examples being the motion of a clock pendulum or the vibrations of strings on musical instruments. Oscillations are also important in many mechanical systems in the real world such as a car suspension. It is thus very important to be able to study and understand these mechanical systems in order to control them in critical situations.

Review
Having had the honour of being the only person to ever catch two MINIMAL IMPACT sets in one week, I was looking forward to a nice compare and contrast between the attempt to sonically destroy the Volks Tavern on Tuesday with what I'd been assured would be a "very quiet" set. Hah! Liar!
Although I suppose relatively speaking it may have been. It may have been lacking in sheer destructive power but the set at Passive Aggressive was certainly loud enough to vibrate every movable thing in the room and had Henry Shitmat Collinz weeping in a foetal ball. Tonight's set was certainly not as loud as that, although when he finished he came over and said, "See I told you it would be quiet" and on seeing me shake my head "No? Really?" So probably a restrained and sensitive set of distorted waveforms and bass swoops from Minimal impact, lacking also the piercing trebles that can sometimes leave your senses reeling. But still a satisfyingly substantial starter.
