There's this social media account, Bots of New York, which posts entertainingly nonsensical computer-generated parodies of Humans of New York posts. One of them (

“I’m a sound designer for the biggest names in the experimental industrial folk scene. Honestly I hate that title because it does a huge disservice to the depths of my artistry. I mostly specialize in foley, field recordings, and really short songs. Next month I’m finally releasing my first solo record called ‘My Favorite 15-Second Songs.’ I’m especially excited about disc two, which features ‘Squished An Adorable Hovercraft’, ‘Stepped On An Antenna’, ‘Tackled An Insect With A Mallet’, ‘Turning Lead Pencils Into Wires With A Melon Baller’, ‘Demonstrating The Futility Of The Ampersand’, and ‘Dropping A Brilliant Astronomer Onto A Giant’s Stomping Ground (Aftermath)’.”
Seattle-based musical artist "Thee Effluvium" then used a computer text generator to generate the rest of the track list for the double album and recorded the titular 15-second songs themselves. The sound is very 'experimental,' but it's also fantastic and amazing and a triumph. Please listen.
Special shoutout to the tracks
