Not sure if I should put this in Poetry or CUFP or what, but nonethless, this is the first time I've heard of the track titles of a CD forming a Perl program. From the Fällt Music record label, Pimmon released an album and the tracks are as follows:
| 01 | #!/usr/bin/perl |
| 02 | $power = 8; |
| 03 | sub fission { |
| 04 | fork |
| 05 | or $child = 1; |
| 06 | $power-- if $child; |
| 07 | if ($child) {exit unless --$power} |
| 08 | return $child; } |
| 09 | while (not &fission) { |
| 10 | print 0; |
| 11 | bomb: |
| 12 | while (&fission) |
| 13 | { print 1 } |
| 14 | } |
| 15 | goto 'bomb'; |
Kids, don't run this program at home, unless you know what you're doing :) Interestingly enough, while the release is limited to only 250 copies worldwide, the material is released under the terms of the GPL.
More information can be found at here at Fällt.
In case you were wondering, it reminds me a lot of Autechre or Scanner, i.e., very weird, on the border of noise and music. I like it a lot :)
