Overhearing Complexity (2006)
This composition is generated by NKM System in Mathematica. It presents a sonification of most of Stephen Wolfram's "elementary rules", each only 30 minutes long. The elementary rules are grouped into classes of complexity. The piece begins with Class 1 and, following the increase of complexity, progresses through Classes 2 and 3 until it reaches the universally complex Class 4.
