Music - 8-bit 11K

A long time ago, before 16-bit audio cards were normal, and storage was tight - maybe 1996 - I experimented with making great sounding low-res 8-bit audio.

This one minute sample of Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata is 8-bits wide and playing back at the incredibly low rate of 11025 samples / sec.  It is stereo which improves it.

(I wish I knew the source of this music.  I have to admit it sounds a bit synthesized but that might also be the low bit rate.)

Pretty nice, eh?
