Tahir,

Is all music derived from human voice? What about birds' "songs"?

Or this recent and fascinating BBC piece, titles "'Oldest' computer music unveiled," at:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7458479.stm

There is an audio file (and some video) of this old METAL MACHINE MUSIC :) there as well as a picture of the huge machine that made the muzick.

Either way, it's a fascinating article.
