Shoutback to Marc Weidenbaum at disquiet.com for his post on The Sound of One GIF Animating. I like that GIFs have become a meme sufficient to consider what they might be like in other media.
The consensus of Weidenbaum's commenters is that a MIDI file is the GIF's closest musical equivalent but Weidenbaum is kind enough to consider my proposal of a short GIF-like demi-song.
