When the game 7th Guest came out (though I’m sure there were others) it was on a mixed CD, part soundrack audio and part game data. But if you had an older CD playing stereo that didn’t block track zero, you could listen to the data. It was early EDM for the crowd that listened to modem handshakes for fun.
Data is garbage until you define its structure and what it is supposed to represent, and there’s nothing stopping something from interpreting it as something else, we do it all the time in progranming as type casting. The same piece of data can be just a normal integer to one function, while it’s a text character to another.
