Description

Lejaren Hiller and Robert Baker composed the Computer Cantata (1963) with MUSICOMP, their composing programs for the IBM 7094, and synthesized its electronic sounds on the CSX-1 computer. Its five strophes, or verses, set statistical approximations of spoken English that move from disorder toward order. On the other side of this 1973 LP from Composers Recordings, Inc., John Melby’s 91 Plus 5 (1971) sets a brass quintet, the 5 of its title, against a tape made with Barry Vercoe’s MUSIC360 program on Princeton’s IBM 360/91, the 91.
