Disquiet published an interesting post about the Joy of Hexadecimal MP3 – a look at Hexawe.net. 

Hexawe.net features music made with Little Pig Tracker – a sequencer designed to work on old-school game platforms:

A “tracker” is about as simple a sequencer there can be, locating musical tidbits along a basic time line. In Little Pig Tracker, all the instructions are handled in a user interface that looks like it powered the payroll at the DMV during a previous gas crisis. How bare bones and old-school is Little Pig Tracker? Well, just for starters, it counts in hexadecimal. See the screenshot, which is borrowed from the software’s instructional wiki, wiki.littlegptracker.com.
