    It does have a rate though. Each click is random, but overall they’re at a predictable rate. Still, it wouldn’t be useful for music really. I could see someone trying to make it happen though. I’ve heard of dumber things.

      Well in that case all you’ve done is reinvent tempo but worse. Unless you vary the rate on the fly, which requires moving the counter and/or radioactive material on the fly. And then all you’ve done is create a very bad musical instrument.
