Wow. Sounds like the soundtrack to Forbidden Planet, which was made by Bebe and Louis Barron who constructed custom circuits and messed about with them.
ReplyDeleteI second the Forbidden Planet comparison, but it also sounds like David Kristian's Cricklewood CD.
ReplyDeleteYou can make something similar out of any data you find using this online program. http://musicalgorithms.ewu.edu the new blogspot for them is also http://www.musicalgorithmsewu.blogspot.com and to recreate student compositions visit http://www.lifeofbrain.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHAVE FUN!
Actually the sound reminded me of some pieces I made. I´ll leave here link to an article I wrote after this one in case it may be of interest :)
ReplyDeleteThe article says that the length of the sound has been compressed from 24 minutes down to 73 seconds, and the frequency has been lowered by a factor of 44! I wonder what the sound 'really' sounds like!
