Music From Math

In one of my classes this semester we are making heavy use of a program called Mathematica. Mathematica is a huge program that is popular in many scientific and engineering fields. No one knows more about math than Mathmatica.

Well, this week the creators of Mathematica, Wolfram Research, have decided to get, well, creative. They have decided to teach Mathematica how to write music. It can write music in a variety of styles from jazz to classical. The thing is, unlike most computer-composed music, the stuff actually sounds decent. With a little bit of clean up the stuff would sound pretty darn good. That's more than you can say for most of the stuff coming out of the record labels today. As my brother likes to say, "Ooh! Snap!"

Anyways, go try it out and have a little fun.
