From Shey.net:

Eigenradio, a project at the MIT Media Lab, distills the broadcasts of dozens of simultaneous radio stations and attempts to recombine the values to create "statistically optimal music." From their site:

Eigenradio plays only the most important frequencies, only the beats with the highest entropy. If you took a bunch of music and asked it, "Music, what are you, really?" you'd hear Eigenradio singing back at you. When you're tuned in to Eigenradio, you always know that you're hearing the latest, rawest, most statistically separable thing you can possibly put in your ear.


It's definitely music, although occasionally glossolalic. It's accented by the computer, too, definitely.

To listen, put this url in yer audio player: http://eigenradio.media.mit.edu:8000. It's ever changing, and actually kind of hypnotic.

I'd love to sample some of this.
