Like the infinite monkeys typing Shakespeare, but with audio instead.

If there was a program that created a series of sounds at random intervals, pitches, amplitudes, etc., how long would it take to produce an output that sounds like music, some sort of recognisable recording (e.g. a bell ring, a dog barking), or perhaps even a human voice?

I used to think this until I listened to Merriweather Post Pavilion while on a particularly large dose of psilocybin like a decade ago.

Absolutely incredible album. Never heard anything like it before or since.

    haha, very much the same for me. i do appreciate some of their albums while not on drugs now, though.

    Boards of Canada was another one I'd always listen too if I was on something. very different music style for AC though.
