wonderful Shockwave version of Wallace Stevens' The Idea of Order at Key West by Jim Andrews--

" Many will be familiar with this poem. I found a recording of it on the net
and played it in Sound Forge, looping parts of it, and occassionally an
interesting music emerged. Of course, loop anything and it eventually
becomes musical. I know that poem well enough that I was looking for
different ways to hear it, different approaches to it. Click around on it or
leave it alone. You can have it loop in bits or play the recording normally.
it takes a while to start up once it's finished downloading: it needs to
decompress the audio."
