Nodal Noise
Listen
Uses Node.js parse errors and sh pipes to generate ‘noise’ from the pits of hell.
Contains no actual JavaScript!
run.sh
n="node -i"
echo $n|$n|$n|$n|$n|$n|$n|$n|$n
Explanation
n="node -i" defines a variable, $n with the value "node -i".
echo $n returns the value of the variable $n.
|$n pipes the result of the previous command to the command pointed to by $n, that is node -i, or the node CLI with the --interactive flag. This will return the following parse error:
> node -i ReferenceError: node is not defined
|$n pipes the result of the previous command (the above parse error) to the command pointed to by $n. This will result in even more parse errors:
> > ReferenceError: node is not defined > ReferenceError: node is not defined ^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token > > > > ^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token >
|$n... continues this process until enough parse errors are present to be converted to a few seconds of audio.
