The weirdest thing I have done in Emacs is using it to generate WAVE files, with a visual interface. The music loops, so you can keep playing with it. I've given talks about the package at !!Con 2021 and EmacsConf 2020.

Info about this at https://zck.org/bangbangcon2021. Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeTDIrJeriI. Bonus: the presentation itself is done from within Emacs, in another library I wrote.

Awesome! It's actually would be nice to have something like a library of MIDI snippets that you can record and store under org-mode bullets, sort them by tags (mood, tempo, genre) and then quickly copy them into a DAW. It would give another dimension to musicians, not only they can store verbally formulated ideas about their music in form of notes, but actually have a library of materials they can use.
