It might sound like R2-D2 having a temper tantrum, but the melody you hear in the video above was the very first music ever generated on a computer. That’s right — Before software or MIDI or even microchip-based synthesis, this fuzzy collection of beeps, squeezed out from the innards of Australia’s CSIRAC Mk 1 computer in 1951, signaled the genesis of digital music as we know it. But without any of the modern conveniences of engineering or data preservation, programming and making audible the rawest, most primitive form of computer-generated sound was no easy task.

This crazy nutty flavoured website turns any website into music. I think it's a sham. I put in a porn site and didn't hear one bow-chicka-wow-wow. Listen to this site: http://www.codeorgan.com/?url=http://mutated.biz

The SOASC= project was an automated recording technique invented by me (Stone Oakvalley) in order to mass record music from the legendary Commodore 64 and its SID chips (6581 and 8580). Realizing this project needed unique hardware solutions and software to back it all up. I spent approx 180 hours on research and how to figure out a plan that would help me automatically record this massive amount of Commodore 64 music. Here is a more or less complete detailed description of all the problems and solutions I encountered. http://www.6581-8580.com/soasc_how.php !

Analogue. Some people love it, some people hate it, and some people quest after it like it’s the panacea of sound. Personally, I love analogue synthesizers – I love how they sound, I love how they feel, and I love how they look.

Even among analogue synths, some filters and oscillators can sound more organic than others. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the most ‘organic’ oscillator on earth: the electric fish oscillator!

If you go into most pet stores, you can find a little fish called a Gnathonemus Petersii – a member of the Mormyrid family. Most pet store employees will recognize it as the Elephant Nose Fish.

The interesting thing about this fascinating little animal is that it emits pulses of electricity into the water. It uses these tiny little shocks to locate food, other fish, and potential mates. You can actually listen to this electric fish rather easily if if use a small piezoelectric earphone or amplified speaker.

Here’s what you do:

Get a piezoelectric earphone  here or at Radio Shack or any electronics store. Piezoelectric earphones are very sensitive to small electrical signals. Alternatively, you could use a cheap computer speaker.

The awesome part is the custom-designed circuit board that accompanies the CD and lists the tracks while doubling as a theremin instrument with headphone jack -- all in a standard-size jewel case. Hit the on button and start making 'music' by waving your hand in front of the light sensors. Sure it sounds a bit like you're squeezing air through a pinched balloon and it costs $50 ($10 for CD-only or $25 for a Pocket Edition), but hey, give this guy some credit for innovation.
