An Experiment in A New Kind of Music

Posted by Zonk on from the good-way-to-spend-a-few-hours dept.

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."

    This is crap, not music. I could make better music by repeatedly smashing your face into a piano.

    I'm going back to the radio. I can just fire up an old Nintendo to get this kind of "music"
