ls -R / >/dev/dsp

A deliciously dissonant noise track this week.
Main source of sound was from recording the output of piping the directory tree of my hard drive to the audio device with:
$ ls -R / >/dev/dsp

Effects, mixing, mastering, etc. in FL Studio.

That's some crazy sounds there.  I feel like I hear the spooky chanting sounds from the end of 2001 Space Odyssey and then the noise starts to transform into Hendrix sounding feedback. 

I think I had my external 1TB hard drive (which only has like ~50GB free lol) mounted when I ran this so I could easily have gotten who knows how many hours worth of cool sounds. But 6 minutes or so is enough. Maybe an entire live set based off this command? That'd be cool.
