Didn't realize this was actually a John Cage composition.
VLC can play isos of video dvds and blurays. So it's probably trying to do the same here.

An ISO file is just binary data representing the data on an optical disk.
So it makes sense that VLC can in principle open ISO files, they could be audio CDs or movie DVDs. I suppose what you see here is the result of it doing its best to "show" a DVD containing something entirely different.
Kubuntu 25.10 is my favourite album.
Although their 24.04 album wasn't bad either.
They say vlc can play anything, but I didn't know is was so literal
It sounds like screaming robots. FYI.
I'm kinda shocked that kids don't know anymore that playing a dvd ripped iso is a basic thing we did years ago. Even menu selecting on it worked.
But did you know that it would begin playing back with an X hour song length?
