Here's my latest Apple II noise project:
http://www.archive.org/details/MICRO.MUSIC
I had the idea to put an LP's worth of music on a single 5.25" floppy. The
music is sequenced from sets of 16 samples which are mixed two at a time
"on the fly". At some point in the project I got a bit loopy and decided
not to compose music in any traditional manner, but rather to use
arbitrary sections of data as the score. This came about after I was
viewing audio sample data in the monitor and noticed the byte sequences of
the waveforms contained regular patterns with small variations which I
thought would translate well into music. Personally, I find the results
rather interesting, but as always YMMV.

PS: scroll down for the disk image or ShrinkIt archive if you want the
full multimedia experience (not recommended for emulators).
