Assume you could plug a synthesizer into the internals of your computer's CPU, what would you hear? Noise and cacophony would be an intuitive first guess, and probably correct if you would hear the sound in real time. But if we slow down the CPU to approximately 3500 operations per second, we just about might assume the CPU's computation could contain all essential ingredients of music: rhytm and repetition caused by iteration, melodies caused by various mechanisms that change a value incrementally, and harmonies caused by some mechanism of excluding values, such as memory alignment.
