Alan Turing Een Turing machine is een abstractie, een schepping van logica en wiskunde. Nakijken of een algoritme met als invoer een stelling waar of vals is, komt dan neer op nakijken of een Turing machine met een bepaalde invoer een oplossing geeft of niet, dus of de Turing machine in een oneindige lus komt of niet. Turing maakte een generalisatie van hun systeem dat in staat was elke Enigmaboodschap te kraken, als er maar een klein stukje tekst correct kon geraden worden. users.compaqnet.be /stijn-heymans/Turing/AlanTuringnl.html   (3341 words)

snarkout: thinking machines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Turing's university studies under Max Newman led him to study the "halting problem", the question of whether one could tell in advance whether any formally defined problem in mathematics could be solved by a given algorithm in finite time. Turing's proof led him to develop the concept of the Turing machine, a sort of idealized computer (back when the term was used to describe people with adding machines), the building block of theoretical computer scientist. Turing had been a chess enthusiast since his schoolboy days, and while working with a motley band of linguists, mathematicians, and crossword enthusiasts on the British codebreaking efforts at Bletchley Park during World War II, he had been exposed to electronic computers for the first time. www.snarkout.org /archives/2004/06/23   (1078 words)

Splendid Magazine reviews Turing Machine: Zwei   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Each of Turing Machine's experiments is an undiluted show of technique and brazen energy, and each of them is immense. However, Turing Machine's sheer overwhelming intensity is mediated by their occasional taste for melody and penchant for building on and returning to old ideas. Turing Machine never stray from the idea that their starting and ending points need to be connected. www.splendidezine.com /review.html?reviewid=1098699154799480   (721 words)

TMR: Turing Machine is the reunited continuation of art-punk band Pitchblende. Specifically Turing Machine is lead by Pitchblenders guitarist Justin Charno and bassist Scott Desimon – the nerdy core that thought to name Pitchblende's final album for the creator of Dungeons and Dragons. Zwei, the band's second album, is unapologetically aimed at the headphoned music nerds amongst us who attempt to dissect every sonic element, who count time signatures, and who immediately know when the guitarist is using a flanger or a phaser. toomuchrock.com /features/mrexdisplay.cgi?review_id=971   (554 words)

ScienceWeek Essentially, the simplest Turing machine system consists of a movable input tape, a fl box (the Turing machine) that reads the tape according to an internal algorithm, and an output tape that records the output of the fl box. As a mathematician, Turing's interest was to determine the universe of problems capable of being solved by such a machine, and his ideas have been of considerable influence in both mathematical and engineering theories of computing machines. Turing was also interested in several biological problems, and to a number of mathematically inclined biologists the Turing machine in its simplest form has been for many decades an intriguing model for certain computational processes in the nervous system. scienceweek.com /1999/sw990709.htm   (8335 words)

SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Turing machine Now known as a Turing machine, the theoretical device was the first to conceive of a general-use device that could store data and instructions and be programmed for lots of different math problems... Turing proposed that all computations and logical operations could be performed by a simple machine, which he called the Universal Turing Machine, reading and modifying a linear sequence of symbols... The award is named for Dr. Alan Turing, the British mathematician who is most famously known for the "Turing Machine," an abstract logic exercise published by Turing in the mid-1930s to describe a mechanical device taking information in a systematic way. telecom.surfwax.com /files/Turing_machine.html   (666 words)

[No title] The mechanical drive ($\longrightarrow$) is the essential machine part of the Turing Machine (the read/write/move device), without consideration of the instructions implicitly embodied by it. However, the formulation of the Turing Machine also specifies the operation of the device such that it moves to spot on the tape, reads the spot, possibly writes to it, and then based on what it read, moves to a different location or halts. Furthermore, it is more naturally generalized; the Turing Machine hypothesis can be manipulated to cover all sorts of cases (a favorite being a bouncing ball as a Turing Machine to compute the ball's final state), but this reformulation already covers such cases. www.duke.edu /~cap10/work/p156assn4.tex   (1239 words)

Turing Machine: A New Machine for Living: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) That said, the main problem Turing Machine faces is that they aren't fronted by a lyricist. Other things Turing Machine have going for them are their tightness, their raw vigor, and their technical prowess. And apparently, neither could Turing Machine, a band whose ferocious sound will either mark the last time anyone attempted this kind of aggressive background music, or be forgotten among stacks and stacks of similarly artsy noise-rock LPs. www.pitchforkmedia.com /record-reviews/t/turing-machine/new-machine-for-living.shtml   (578 words)

Turing machine Input and output of a Turing machine is performed on a doubly infinite band containing 0 or 1's. The machine running here with 3 states does the following in state 2: if the band shows 0: go to state 3, move the band to the left and write 1. A challenging sport is to find among all Turing machines with n states the "busy beaver", the program, which produces from the empty band a maximum number of consecutive 1's before it halts. www.mathematik.com /Turing   (154 words)

Collegian Online -- Entertainment The producers of the band's second album, Running on Ice, set the duo up with Beauford, who liked a recording of the band's work and agreed not only to do the drum tracks on the second album, but even toured with the guys for a bit. Jade Tree Records, who are best known for bands like The Promise Ring and Joan of Arc, seem to have made a wise choice in adding Turing Machine to their roster. Turing machine is definitely for the individual interested in broadening their musical horizons. www.lasalle.edu /~collegia/021600/entertainment.htm   (3429 words)

Turing Machine - Epitonic.com: Hi Quality Free and Legal MP3 Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Turing's machine was designed to solve all solvable computational problems, and while its namesake band may not completely solve all musical problems, they aren't afraid to tackle some of the stickier ones. Turing Machine's powerful noise shows that instrumental music need not be bland background filler or devolve into proto-jazz wankery. Turing Machine acknowledges their influences -- This Heat, Krautrock, prog rock, and modern instrumental bands like Euphone -- and traces of each can be detected in the band's music. www.epitonic.com /artists/turingmachine.html   (472 words)

Turing Machine - A New Machine for Living @ Soundbug   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) With their roots planted deeply within Kraut-rock and Indie rock, Turing Machine provides a great set of tunes that leave you feeling alive. I put on A New Machine For Living while I was going on a little four hour drive. I have been thinking about calling a band, or at least a song 'Turing Machine' for years. www.soundbug.com /asin/B00003G1MA   (376 words)

The Martlet: UVic's Independent Newspaper   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Zwei, Turing Machine's second album, finds the band deep in fascination with the warped instrumental drive and pulse of krautrock, frequently evoking a more aggressive version of Tortoise. That band sprawled their icy sonics in contrasting directions, whereas Turing Machine is concerned with the architecture (or frequent lack thereof) of a single choppy groove. This is an album mainly concerned with the primacy of the beat, and a willingness to move into less orthodox rhythms would highlight the band's innovation in a typically conservative genre. www.martlet.ca /archives/050113/arts4.html   (262 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) A New Machine for Living is not just the first Jade Tree release of the new millennium, it's the debut recording for the Brooklyn-based trio, Turing Machine. Not that Turing Machine are fresh-faced, windbreaker-wearing neophytes, or new to Jade Tree, for that matter. The resulting record, A New Machine For Living, is true to their noise-rock history and Jade Tree's eclectic roster, while at the same time it expands the sonic envelope of both their past incarnation and present label. www.supersphere.com /Club/ClubArticle.html?NAME=TURING_MACHINE&FILE=BIO   (451 words)

Interview: Turing Machine I was lucky enough to chance upon this band, so make sure you don't miss out especially if you are a Slint / Tortoise fan. Turing Machine are: Justin Chearno, Gerard Fuchs, Scott Desimon. I would love to, but because of our 'serious' jobs and the fact that our drummer is still in college (not to mention I can't imagine anyone in the UK wanting to come out and see us play...) I don't thing that's in the near future at all.. www.alternativecuts.co.uk /int_turingmachine.htm   (988 words)

DIM MAK :: bands :: Panthers Guitarist Justin Chearno was in Turing Machine and Pitchblade. This doesn't mean the band is stuck up, though, as one member points out, "Community is built on obstacles and overtaking them." With a lineup boasting musicians from Turing Machine, Orchid and The Red Scare, Panthers keep the volume up and the revolutionary iconography in full view. The band puts its own strong stamp on the innovations of the past ten years of punk rock, which is not surprising considering it's made up of members of Orchid, Red Scare, and Turing Machine; all thrilling bands, in equal parts jagged Monorchid-esque guitar lines, garage stomp ala MC5 and '91-era Nation of Ulysses. www.dimmak.com /panthers   (5819 words)

Turing Machine: Zwei Aversion.com Review Non-musically speaking, a Turing Machine is a hypothetical machine, developed, at least in theory, by Dr. Alan Turing in the ’30s, as an all-purpose, flexible calculating machine. So when a band takes its name from Turing’s hypothetical brainchild, it’s almost certainly going to be a band that’s more wrapped up in theory than actual brick-and-mortar applications. Turing Machine’s aptly named second record, Zwei, follows the math-rock experiments begun on the band’s debut, 2000’s A New Machine for Living, namely exploring the world where differential equations cross paths with instrumental noodling and krautrock. www.aversion.com /bands/reviews.cfm?f_id=1834   (375 words)

Seattle Weekly: Music: CD Reviews: Isis Their third album, and first on a major label, introduces the band to mainstream America, gathering swathes of Kraftwerk-cum-hip-hop beats, chain-saw guitar chords, and boop-beep knob tweakery and sassing the shit out of it. Turing Machine have never found fame or even mild interest inside or—does it need to said?—outside the indie-rock community. A band like the Fucking Champs tread similar ground ironically, but Turing Machine don't smirk when calling their shit gnarly, nor should they. www.seattleweekly.com /features/0446/041117_music_cdreviews.php   (3036 words)

Opus // Music // Turing Machine - New Machine For Living, A Turing Machine manages to sound quite unlike any of those bands, and yet still display a mastery on each of their individual instruments that evidences control and precision the likes of which Don Caballero and Polvo aspire to (and that Pitchblende also did quite well). This is the wonderful sound of a rock band that sounds like a machine you're afraid to get close to for fear your shirt might catch in the gears and your arms will get ripped off. Turing Machine may not be something you could live in every day, but they'd be a nice house to get your tail kicked in. www.opuszine.com /music/review.html?reviewID=346   (456 words)

HIGH BIAS -- SXSW 2005 Alas, though the band set up completely, one of the members announced that both of its amps were broken and thus they weren't going to play. With incredibly annoying stage lighting (who told them seizure-inducing strobes were a good idea in a room that holds maybe 200 people???) and a singer trying desperately to convince the crowd that we were in an arena, the performance suffered from the simple act of trying too hard. The band met and exceeded my expectations with a hard-driving set of hook-filled hard rock tunes played as if it was the group's last night on earth. www.highbias.com /SXSW/2005d.html   (1855 words)

washingtonpost.com: TURING MACHINE "Zwei" Frenchkiss Turing Machine's second album is called "Zwei," German for "two," and features a song titled "Bitte, Baby, Bitte," using the German for "please." The New York band's members may not know another word in the language, but that doesn't mean they haven't done their homework. While those bands did play extended vamps, they also varied the mood with intermittent vocals and slower, gentler passages. Turing Machine (named for computer theorist Alan Turing's pioneering algorithm) embroiders its cyclical riffs and lockstep rhythms with guitar counterpoint and synthesizer swoops, but never deviates from its headlong course. www.washingtonpost.com /ac2/wp-dyn/A23786-2005Jan20?language=printer   (195 words)

Delusions of Adequacy: Turing Machine - Zwei And although a remarkably expansive and nimble rock band, Turing Machine can barely scratch the surface of the psychedelic majesty of the German forebears. Turing Machine definitely has the one-to-two chord drone down pat, but the rhythm and guitar work remains reliably conventional and rocking. Turing Machine's members aren't as adventurous as the dearly departed Laddio Bolocko or as ludicrously insane as the cartoonish Acid Mothers Temple. www.adequacy.net /review.php?reviewid=5212   (427 words)

Rockpile   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) It’s safe to the say the majority of Turing Machine’s fans will indeed have beards, or at least the propensity to grow them, but that’s not to say they’re lacking something for the ladies. Besides, it’s not just the songs that come out of Turing Machine that make them interesting, but the way those songs are made, and the way they choose to navigate the industry. Turing Machine isn’t consumed with breaking into the big time, and it has New York City-level rents to pay, so the guys can’t just be out running around the country with reckless abandon. www.rockpile.net /scan.php?action=view&id=110   (566 words)

Turing Machine - Zwei   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) While Turing Machines’ new album Zwei, the second by this Brooklyn-based group, will probably not convince those who consider themselves post-“post-rock” that the genre has rose from the dead, it is an enjoyable, complex and energized album of straight up instrumental rock. Turing Machine does not rely on studio trickery, but mainly on raw grooves. The out time signatures are kept to a minimum, which suggests that the band is heading in a more accessible direction from their raucous and basically insane debut. www.copperpress.com /new/reviews/html/120704turing.html   (526 words)
