Song made from annoying Windows sounds
Now, we're not saying this song is going to top the Billboard charts anytime soon. But we're still reasonably impressed. You can download an extended MP3 of the song and read a bit more about its creation at YouTube.

The Illusionist's Dream is a simple platformer; you play as a magician who needs to get through each level by transforming into any number of animals that you encounter along the way.
Each animal can do different things; the butterfly can obviously fly, but if it encounters a frog, the frog eats it, and you have to start over again. There's also a fox that runs fast and leaps far, but it eats any rabbits that cross its path. That means that, if you may need to be a rabbit later on, you need to take that into account ...

(I am the composer of the other piece referred to on the YouTube link above.) This is a different take on the sounds and is very cool. This one cheated a little by pitch-shifting the sounds to suit the notes he needed, but still, very good job!

There's also a flash-based song with a nifty animation. I think it's the first one I've seen - it's been out a while.

Those guys, creating such an awesome music with these annoying Windows sounds, can call themselves 'geniuses'.
Just perfect sound.
I really like it. Thanks for brightening our daily computer work.
