Some bizarre music generator from Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica.

"When prominent scientist Stephen Wolfram published A New Kind of Science in
2002, it was immediately hailed as a major intellectual landmark. ... At
the core of A New Kind of Science is the idea of exploring a new abstract
universe: a "computational universe" of simple programs. In A New Kind of
Science, Wolfram shows how remarkably simple programs in his "computational
universe" capture the essence of the complexity--and beauty--of many systems
in nature. ... WolframTones works by taking simple programs from Wolfram's
computational universe, and using music theory and Mathematica algorithms to
render them as music."
IMO, as usual with "math music" the ideas are more interesting than the
result.
