If you haven't seen it yet (and if you haven't, it means you don't read Digg.com), somebody used ModPlug Tracker to create a little tune using only sound files found on Microsoft Windows XP and 98. I've heard others attempt something similar before, but the result was usually the bastard child of Philip Glass's "Glassworks" and anything by Kate Bush. Rather unpleasant, to say the least.
But this--this is different. It's catchy. It's melodic. It's even a little bit sad. I caught myself humming the tune while making a cup of Earl Grey later in the morning, which is the same moment I decided I needed to share it with the internet-o-sphere. Enjoy.
Oh, and for those who won't go anywhere near anything Windows--even if it's just sound effects--there is a tune made up of Apple Mac sounds put together in Garageband. And while it looks a bit easier than ModPlug, the composition is slightly Nintendo.
