An Experiment in A New Kind of Music
waynegoode writes "Stephen Wolfram's Wolfram Research has produced an new application:
WolframTones-- 'An Experiment in A New Kind of Music'. It combines the principles in Stephen's book, 'A New Kind of Science' and Mathematica to 'instantly create unique music' in many different styles. They describe it as pretty neat as well as being scientifically interesting, and useful. After listening to some compositions and creating a few random ones myself, I must agree that it is. And anyone who has listen to the radio the last few years could certainly use some unique music."
More unique (and irritating) ringtones!
Copernicus debunked: The universe actually revolves around Stephen Wolfram's ass.
Kraftwerk is gonna be pissed.
I'm not a Troll, it's reverse psychology.
This is crap, not music. I could make better music by repeatedly smashing your face into a piano.
A doctor, an architect, and a computer scientist were arguing about
whose profession was the oldest. In the course of their arguments, they
got all the way back to the Garden of Eden, whereupon the doctor said, "The
medical profession is clearly the oldest, because Eve was made from Adam's
rib, as the story goes, and that was a simply incredible surgical feat."
The architect did not agree. He said, "But if you look at the Garden
itself, in the beginning there was chaos and void, and out of that the Garden
and the world were created. So God must have been an architect."
The computer scientist, who'd listened carefully to all of this, then
commented, "Yes, but where do you think the chaos came from?"
I'm going back to the radio. I can just fire up an old Nintendo to get this kind of "music"
Yeah, thats right, I'm creating a bot to click every button, and taking each output, emailing it to myself, and copyrighting it.
I figure in a year or so I should have just about everything either copywritten, or at least something close enough I can sue everyone.
I'm also working at buying the rights to the word "stealth".
There's nothing Intelligent about Intelligent Design.
Checkmate.
I haven't touched one in years, and I still catch myself humming the most random Nintendo tunes.
I don't know which is worse - still being able to hum the tune during the "Game Over" screen from Super Mario Brothers 2, or still knowing that the tune is from SMB2.
Someone needs to invent a miracle pill that clears all this garbage out of our brains, so we can work on a cure for cancer or something else important with the newly-freed space.
I will get interested if they come up with "A New Kind of Sex".
Now, that's something I'll pay to read/watch/partake....
unless of course we have Wolfram himself as main actor.

But I liked this better :)
Well, isn't that appropriate for a music application?
