Avant La Nuit are two exquisite interactive pieces by
Nicolas Clauss, a "painter who stopped 'traditional painting' to use multimedia and the internet as a canvas", working from his
Flying Puppet studio in Paris. [

The
WebPlayer is a Shockwave app that turns a web page into music by converting the HTML into numbers and then running that through formulas developed by
Arnold Schoenberg, who came to be known as the inventory of atonalism in music, and influential in
serialism, which aims to produce music by controlling aspects of the music with number series. Don't expect Beethoven, but sometimes the output is nice.
The Google front page produced a pretty soothing bit of background sound the first time I tried it, but the next, it sounded like several other pages I tried. Some explanation for this and the choice of a single sound can be found in the informative critique.
