Here are a few ridiculous tracks made for fun with a 1991 Mac Classic II and an application called Super Studio Session.  The Schubert file was an example included with the "strings" instrument collection.  The rest were "composed" by myself, Brian Kane, and Paul Coleman.

Kane 68k free jazz with boing

This hideous garbage is the product of a bored hour spent with Logic Pro X, Bach MIDI files found on the internet, and Logic's new "Drummer" instrument.  I'd say "you're welcome" but what I really mean is "I'm sorry."

This year's pi Day will be the pi-y-est of all for another 100 years!

From Wikipedia:

"In the year 2015, Pi Day will have special significance on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53 a.m. and p.m., with the date and time representing the first 10 digits of π.[13] That same second will also contain a precise instant corresponding to all of the digits of π.[4] However, some argue that 9:26:54 a.m. and p.m. on 3/14/15 are more accurate because of the 11th digit of π being 5, which would cause the 10th digit to round up to 4.[14]"

To celebrate I've created a bunch of recordings of SuperCollider code that employs pi as a central element.  This music is noisy and awesome and I will add to it as I go.  Here's the code so far:

//v1
(play{
	var pFreq,pFreq2,snd;
	pFreq=(pi.pow(pi) * LFNoise1.ar(LFNoise1.kr(pi,pi,pi),pi,pi).pow(pi)).round(pi);
	pFreq2=(pi.pow(pi) * LFNoise1.ar(LFNoise1.kr(pi,pi,pi),pi,pi).pow(pi)).round(pi);
	snd=SinOsc.ar([pFreq + pFreq2, pFreq + pFreq2], [pFreq%pi, pFreq2%pi]);
	snd=Notch.ar(snd, snd.poll, 0.01);
};)

//v2
(play{
	var pFreq,pFreq2,snd;
	pFreq=(pi.pow(pi) * LFNoise1.ar(LFNoise1.kr(pi,pi,pi),pi,pi).pow(pi)).round(pi);
	pFreq2=(pi.pow(pi) * LFNoise1.ar(LFNoise1.kr(pi,pi,pi),pi,pi).pow(pi)).round(pi);
	snd=SinOsc.ar([pFreq + pFreq2, pFreq + pFreq2], [pFreq%pi, pFreq2%pi]);
	snd=Notch.ar(snd, [pFreq + pFreq2, pFreq + pFreq2], 0.2);
};)

//v3

(play{
	var pFreq,pFreq2,snd,pfP,pfP2,pfA,pfA2;
	pFreq=(pi.pow(pi) * LFNoise1.ar(LFNoise1.kr(pi,pi,pi),pi,pi).pow(pi)).round(pi);
	pFreq2=(pi.pow(pi) * LFNoise1.ar(LFNoise1.kr(2pi,2pi,2pi),2pi,2pi).pow(pi)).round(pi);
	pfP=pFreq%pi;
	pfP2=pFreq2%pi;
	pfA=pFreq.fold(1);
	pfA2=pFreq2.fold(1);
	snd=SinOsc.ar([pFreq + pFreq2, pFreq2 + pFreq], [pfP, pfP2],[pfA, pfA2]);
	snd=Notch.ar(snd, [pFreq + pFreq2, pFreq + pFreq2], 0.2);
	Normalizer.ar(snd)
};)

//v4

(play{

	Splay.ar(snd);

//v4b

		snd=Normalizer.ar(snd)});
	Splay.ar(snd, 2/pi);
};)

//v5

(play{
	var pFreq2,pFreq,snd,pfP,pfP2,pfA,pfA2;

	snd=Array.fill(3, {
