I've been experimenting with various DAW's and VST plugins, trying to make some sort of 'beautiful accident'.

None of that worked of course, I just wind up with lots of red meters, but the other day I was reading a typical music gear post on twitter which boasted of the number of reverbs some guy could run on his new Intel i7 DAW. So naturally I simply had to find out how many I could run. Silly really... however, suddenly a great sound emerged.

Generated entirely by Ableton Live pushing about 80 copies of Audio Damages Eos' (Eoses? Eosi?) reverbs in series. There is no input.
cpuAt11
(note- I also tried this with Reaper and about 120 duplicates of Breverb and nothing happened!... might be the fact that it was the 64bit version of Reaper)

In conclusion - anything can break the right way.... or at least in a musical way. Put it yet another way... yes, even CPUs sound great at 11.
