Chinampas (album)
Chinampas is an album by avant-garde jazz pianist Cecil Taylor in which he reads his poetry over the sound of small percussion. The title is an Aztec word that means "floating garden". Taylor's poems are about how he composes music. He composed the album, produced it, and played the instruments (piano, bells, tympani, percussion).[1]

gollark: I still run it manually, but it works.
gollark: My arguably-evil scheme is running perfectly, by the way.
gollark: It seems like they just had the wrong idea.
gollark: "Bug" would imply that they had some idea in mind but got it wrong when translating it to code.
