Summary: 


--I am suprised that no one has cited the "Little Boy Suite" on this topic.
--I cannot remember the composer's name, although I seem to recall that he
--was French.  This was one of the works composed with Max Mathews' Music V
--system;  and, as I recall, it goes down, rather than up.  Nevertheless,
--the principle is applicable in either direction.
--...the effect was one of an
--endlessly descending tone.  (The dramatic effect was intended to be
--that of the dropping of the "Little Boy" atomic bomb.)

Jean-Claude Risset, published on Decca 710810 "Voice of the Computer" 1970.
(The piece is fine as music, too).

Magic is just advanced technology ... so is intelligence.  Before computers,
the ability to do arithmetic was proof of intelligence.  What proves
intelligence now?
