#2816: Computer Blue
Listen to a sampling of computer music, including an Icelandic tribute to an obsolete mainframe computer, and a singing Mac from the mid-80s. Hear music by Johan Johansson, inspired by the very first huge mainframe on Iceland - his Dad's. We'll hear his "IBM 1401, A User's Manual."
Then, experience the singing Mac in a work by Hearn Gadbois, "GAHT MAYH MOH8JOH3 WOYKIN." Plus, there's "Idle Chatter," by Paul Lansky, made with the sounds of human speech fed into a computer; just listen to the resulting song that comes out. Plus, music by Morton Subotnick, and more.
