A New Kind of Music
Published Jan 01, 1900
I have this young friend, a medical student, who's also hot and heavy into computers.
He developed software which he claimed would scan anything and play back a tune. Thinking to throw him a curve, I went to his house with my latest EKG tracings.
Imagine my dismay, when upon being scanned, his surround-sound system played quite a moving version of "Nearer My God to Thee" from my cardiac rhythms.
