Eigenradio: “only the beats with the highest entropy”

If I could do it all over again, I would have gone to MIT and worked in the Media Lab. Curse you Negroponte!

An example: Eigenradio.

Quoting from the site:

Eigenradio plays only the most important frequencies, only the beats with the highest entropy. If you took a bunch of music and asked it, “Music, what are you, really?” you’d hear Eigenradio singing back at you. When you’re tuned in to Eigenradio, you always know that you’re hearing the latest, rawest, most statistically separable thing you can possibly put in your ear. Tune in and hear the future of music

While I listened for a few minutes, I caught some hip hop, Norah Jones, a classical piece, a polka klezmer ditty, and much glitchy randomness. It’s strangely relaxing, sort of like the warm crackle of an AM radio tuner at night, when you can catch signals from around the world.

Only difference is, Eigenradio is possessed.
