¡¡ Versificator !!
True, it's nothing new to say that dance music is ridiculously easy to make. It's just cool that someone made a hardware box (link here) which'll crank out endless hours of original dance tracks. Here is a recording of it. Now they just need to mix in some lyrics - perhaps gleaned from email spam - and we'll approach George Orwell's vision of the wondrous versificators of 1984!!
It was only an 'opeless fancy.
It passed like an Ipril dye,
But a look an' a word an' the dreams they stirred!
They 'ave stolen my 'eart awye!
The tune had been haunting London for weeks past. It was one of countless similar songs published for the benefit of the proles by a sub-section of the Music Department. The words of these songs were composed without any human intervention whatever on an instrument known as a versificator. But the woman sang so tunefully as to turn the dreadful rubbish into an almost pleasant sound.
- George Orwell
I've heard of that church in Germany where they're playing that John Cage song... but has yet there been invented a machine that is playing an endless song? What a cool idea. Perhaps you could phase in and out samples / sounds into it - maybe remotely via the internet? Seems like something somebody would've attempted already.....
