Heh, one of my coworkers sent me this URL a few weeks ago. Seems to me
the musicality of the piece has little to do with the hamsters, which
serve primarily as random function generators. No doubt the hamsters
could be replaced with six sample & holds with slewing circuits, and,
coupled to the same music generating algorithms, produce equivalent
music. It might still make a good engineering project, but not nearly
as interesting a web page.
