Fantastic! What is the sound and how was it generated? It sounds like it might be narrow samples of some voice.

  Sounds like random binary data - in fact, I bet the audio is generated the same way as the video.

  It gets higher and higher pitched as the video goes on, so may have to do with the unicode values. But too jumpy to just be that.

    You're probably right. Not all values have been assigned a glyph yet.

  It is a computer voice saying each character, timestretched to a fraction of their original length, likely the fraction needed for the longest one to fit into one frame. I've wasted a lot of time messing around with different sound sources in granular synthesis, and the timbre it produces is unmistakable. You get a similar effect fast forwarding an audio book, depending on the software. EDIT: maybe I spoke to soon, upon further inspection it seems to go up in pitch much too linearly with time. It's definitely a voice synthesis algorithm though, or perhaps one of those synthesisers that use parts from those algorithms to make musical sounds. EDIT2: I think it may be the voice algorithm reading out the character code, with the pitch set to the code * some constant. The jumps in pitch are from when there is a run of undefined codes. Higher numbers take longer to say, so the sound becomes more continuous as it goes on.
