Stumbling Upon Music

Phor your Phriday phun, it's that Honda choir commercial, take two!

Meanwhile, some music composition toys, found via Stumble Upon.  (You do have the Stumble Upon add-on with your Firefox browser, right?  Right?)  By some amazing coincidence, both these computer-based music generators compose in a minimalist style.  What are the chances of that???!
Is this called The Pixel Plant?  Or DMF?  I dunno, but it needs no explanation.

Grotrian Pianos, however, needs plenty of explanation.  Fortunately, the mouse-over help instructs you to bringen sie neue tönen ins spiel and also to wählen sie aus den vorgegebenen kompositionen aus.  (That is, "bring your new tone into play," and "thy whales were to be going out composing toboggans," if my German can be trusted -- and if it turns out he can't, I'll order him beaten.)

Fred, your German is attrocious, but so much so that it's been delightful imagining those whales.
