Abstract
Very short computer programs, sometimes consisting of as few as three
arithmetic operations in an infinite loop, can generate data that sounds like
music when output as raw PCM audio. The space of such programs was recently
explored by dozens of individuals within various on-line communities. This
paper discusses the programs resulting from this exploratory work and
highlights some rather unusual methods they use for synthesizing sound and
generating musical structure.
