Seems like this does the reverse of the C64 demo "A Mind Is Born" (https://linusakesson.net/scene/a-mind-is-born/): that one is making music first, and simultaneously interprets it as graphics. Of course that C64 demo is huge compared to this x86 one :)
In that way the title is misleading. My original "m8trix" from 2014 already did smear pseudorandom letters across the screen ( in 8 bytes, then in 7 ) https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=63126 and i always wondered how i could make it "sound good". But chronologically in the development of "wakeup" the sound was first. Since you "see what you hear" it doesnt really matter, but "16 bytes that turn sierpinski sound into matrix rain" would be true too =)
