This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

A neat video from the 1930's demonstrating animation with synthetically-generated music

The synthetic sounds are generated by variophone, an optical synthesizer that used sound waves cut onto rotating cardboard disks.

Pioneering work in graphic sound was underway in 1926
