"Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent." - Ada Lovelace 1843
"What we can't do ourselves will be done by machines and electrical instruments which we will invent." - John Cage 1939
"I clicked some buttons on the computer and this came out..." - Duncan Moran 2009
Some mangled sounds created by clicking buttons on the computer and seeing what comes out.
All noises are
MP3 files.
They are not loaded until you click Play so there may be a short delay
with longer files. Ideally you should hit all the play buttons so they are all playing at the
same time.
