MS Paint Interpereted as audio data = Awesome music!
YouTube Uploaded by r2blend on Mar 9, 2011
"Just made a really weird and awesome discovery.
If you import an EXE file into an audio program as audio data, you hear all kinds of cool stuff. The most awesome by far for me was MS Paint.
It's probably one of the coolest things I've ever heard form something like this. All I did to the audio was master it slightly to make it sound less harsh to the ears, as well as remove a long section of noise.
Here it is on soundcloud:

This is the Windows 7 x64 edition of mspaint.exe. I used Adobe Audition to import and edit the audio, but one could jsut as easily use Audacity's "import Raw Data" feature. I imported this as 8-bit, 22050hz stereo audio. I faded in the beginning, as well as removing a long section of noise part of the way through."

Electronic Computer Startup Noise recorded form an LED
Uploaded by r2blend on Mar 9, 2011
"This is of the sound that my computer's LED makes when its light is recorded as sound by connecting a CDS Cell to a handheld recorder's microphone input. Needless to say, it sounded awesome.
You can hear the disks spinning up, the PC Speaker (at 0:08), and all of the other devices that are drawing power. Even the background hiss is from the computer itself, as I had the recorder set to a relatively insensitive setting. Not to mention that the cell was literally pressed up against the light, effectively blocking out all other potential noise or hum sources."

Multi-touch Surfaces
YouTube Uploaded by AndrewFentem on Mar 10, 2011
You might remember the sequencer in the opening clip from here (2009), here (2008) and here (2007).
"Some of the multi-touch surface technologies I developed. In order of appearance:
i. Multi-touch and multi-object tracking re-configurable music sequencer/mixer/drum machine.
ii. Interactive carpeting.
iii. Ultra high-speed touchscreen and LED display system for virtual air hockey.
(The music in the background of the video was composed on the multi-object sensing music sequencer.)"
