"Tempest for Eliza is a program that uses your computer monitor to send out AM radio signals. You can then hear computer generated music in your radio. All electronic devices send out eletromagnetic waves. so does your monitor. and your monitor does it all the time. And at very high frequencies. High enough for your short wave AM radio. All you have to do is display the 'correct' image on your screen and your monitor will emit the "right" signals. Tempest for Eliza displays pictures on your screen. one for each note in the song. "
You start the program on the command line defining your monitor settings and which AM frequency to transmit. You will also need to specify an audio file to be played. Next, bring your radio receiver near your computer monitor, tune it to the defined AM frequency, and listen!
