This odd discovery brought a smile to me on a frustrating day: http://www.amazon.com/IBM-1401-A-Users-Manual/dp/B000S5AMS2 ($4.95 download) http://www.amazon.com/Ibm1401-Users-Manual-Johann-Johannsson/dp/B000I0SGSA/r ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 <http://www.amazon.com/Ibm1401-Users-Manual-Johann-Johannsson/dp/B000I0SGSA/ ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1282877401&sr=1-1> &s=music&qid=1282877401&sr=1-1 (regular CD) Summary: Composer Jóhann Jóhannsson has recorded an orchestral work inspired by and incorporating the sounds of the first IBM 1401 installed in Iceland. (Perhaps the first computer in Iceland Petri Paju would know this ) The title is IBM 1401 A Users Manual. Its also interesting to see that the trick of generating music via radio interference long predated the microcomputers of the 1970s, as the sounds are supposed to have come from his fathers work in 1971. Its not actually a musical, but parts were apparently used for modern dance and there are some spoken passages. Im playing the first track (movement?) right now, and it is deeply strange. This should put everyone in the right mood for the Materiality and Immateriality theme of our forthcoming workshop. If only more Icelanders back in 2006 had put their quirky ingenuity into celebrating old technology rather than structuring financial deals . Tom
