An interesting way to generate somewhat musical sonic mayhem
Posted: 05 Oct 2011, 14:59The approach described here:
Algorithmic symphonies from one line of code -- how and why?
may be of interest to some folks here.

^^^ the above video shows the result of little programs like this:
piped to /dev/audio (or /dev/dsp?)
(in other words, output treated as 8 bit 8khz unsigned mono audio.)
There are some other videos there as well. Would be trivial to fill a buffer
with those algos and then save them to wav files with libsndfile.
Oh yeah, there's an online javascript one you can use to explore this sonic mathscape:
