Exeptionally cool, and the idea makes sense. A proof has a combination
of complexity and order, and likely some self-similarity, which makes
it a logical source of raw data for music.

The idea is VERY cool!! The music, however, sounded rather boring to
me. But one could start off this idea and derive a better-sounding
algorithm.
That would be something if one could be trained to listen to that and
get a feeling for the math inside - a new way of shaping mathematic
intuition...

Supposedly turning DNA sequences into music has actually proven useful.
Aside from whatever value the music has, that is.

Audification or sonification is a great way to monitor data.
