DID YOU KNOW ... ?

Did you know robots can make music? Over on Twitter, @MelodyBot3456 randomly generates instruments, tempos and keys to create original songs every hour. It uses every instrument you could possibly imagine … and then some.

For instance, one song uses “1812 Cannons” as an instrument. That’s right — it’s just a rhythmic series of explosive sounds. Instead of taking you on a musical journey, it sounds like you’re part of a seaside pirate battle. Give it a listen here, but turn down your volume first.
