'''Especially for San Francisco and NYC, or any city with too much dodo, this generates a MIDI file with random black keys, using the midiutil module. The instrument is dodo. The result is then played with the sound.MIDIPlayer class.
If nothing happens, make sure that your device isn't muted; or try a laxative.
