"IDM" is short for "intelligent dance music", and is not so much a 
genre, as a set of properties that music of different (electronic) dance 
genres can have - most of the time, it refers to the property that it's 
not a stupid techno or house beat going on for minutes.
Important artists in IDM include (in no specific order) Autechre, Aphex 
Twin/Richard D. James, Venetian Snares, Squarepusher/Tom Jenkinsons, The 
Sabres of Paradise etc.

Fun stuff - just had a quick listen now. Even though he has been 
specializing on much different things, Krispen still sounds best when 
he's playing typical post-bebop/fusion electric guitar parts ;). 
Speaking of which, here's another IDM track featuring Krispen: 
http://moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/aspirin-age - it turns "IDM" about 5 
minutes into the track.

Frankly, I was more interested in how you did the video here* ;). Did I 
miss the explanation in your mail, or did you decide not to "dance about 
architecture" in that case?

*: it's mostly because I myself have a proven track record, as they say, 
of having snippets from some projects lying around for years, only to be 
recontextualized later...
