Over at discogs there was a thread posted about making a track with your speakers off, not being able to hear the samples you are using. I think the first result posted below is rather amusing and it'd be cool if people on TA gave this a crack too.

Howdy y'all. The idea hit me earlier to construct a track consisting entirely of audio I have never heard before and with no hints as to it's content other than the waveform as represented in the sequencing software I used.
So! I had a friend pick out 15 different wavs and send them over while I constructed this track with my speakers off.
Okay, I am going to try this. Those random samples plus effects in Live, no monitoring whatsoever. I will make it about two minutes long I guess. Should have it posted up in the next couple hours. :-)
I was disappointed in that some of it (especially at the beginning) actually sounded decent rather than absurd, although it gets a bit goofy in parts. Still a fun exercise, though.
It seems to have a pretty cool film noir vibe to it. I could hear it being played in an action scene of a retro 50s film. Of course, it might work for a porn film as well.
I'm going to try some simpler variations on this experiment later on.
