The Canadian rock band Rush wrote "The Temples of Syrinx", part of their twenty-minute epic track, 2112. The name of the temple is ironic in the fact that the Temples of Syrinx in the lyrics serve as a centre advocating the destruction and oppression of music.
Actually, I'm not sure if I missed it in the comments here, but there is more to your Rush reference than you think. Have you or anyone else listened to "The Body Electric" by Rush? The chorus is "1001001001, SOS! 1001001001 in distress!" and is about an artificial intelligence trying to escape from it's programming and its fellow robots (it's hive, if you will.) "Unit one's in trouble, and it's scared out of it's wits". See the similarity? I think this song is a big tip of the hat to Rush and an expansion...

I think this song is a big tip of the hat to Rush and an expansion on the theme of AIs, an oppressive society, and the freedom of music. The Body Electric is also a book, which you can look up on Wikipedia or whatnot. A brilliantly written, multifaceted song. Food for thought...
