MIT Researchers Release Music Made by Spiders - Futurism

They created 3D scans of spider webs that they then imported into a virtual environment, allowing them to manipulate webs in different ways and convert the resulting structures and their acoustic qualities into music, according to a press release about research the team presented at Monday’s meeting of the American Chemical Society.

In order to create the music, the scientists assigned different notes to different strands of a web and then assembled a melody of sorts based on the web’s 3D structure and the way spiders constructed their webs over time.
