Well worth listening to. I've rededicated myself to getting the web-monkeys of The Motley Fool and Gamespot Forums to author The Sound and the Fury.
Cory Arcangel's re-creation of Arnold Schoenberg's Three Piano Pieces, op. 11, edited from YouTube's sub-culture of piano-playing cats. All 170 of them.
'Cory spent "a few months of free time" making these videos, with the help of a software program called Comparisonics, that allows you to search for similar sounds in audio files, using Glenn Gould's recording of the Schoenberg as his litmus test to compare with YouTube's cats. And the result is one of the great victories of transcendent, purposeful purposelessness on the internet.'
