Thought this was a real interesting video, for those who are fans of 'musique concrete' and what may very well be part of the origins of synthesized, sequenced music. Waveforms are 'painted' on film and then played back. The end result in the video below sounds a lot like chiptunes!
From Wikipedia:
As far back as 1916, in the article “Upcoming Science of Music and the New Era in the History of Music”, Arseny Avraamov proclaimed his view on the future of the Art of Music: “By knowing the way to record the most complex sound textures by means of a phonograph, after analysis of the curve structure of the sound groove, directing the needle of the resonating membrane, one can create synthetically any, even most fantastic sound by making a groove with a proper structure of shape and depth".

| Hey Luke, if you're interested in the early history of recording, audio reproduction, synthesis and electronic music I highly recommend Thom Holmes' book titled Electronic & Experimental Music. |
