Description

Decca’s Music From Mathematics was announced in Billboard in November 1962 as the record debut of “two new artists,” the IBM 7090 computer and the Digital to Sound Transducer. Its 18 pieces were recorded at Bell Telephone Laboratories, whose own earlier box set, also in this collection, has 11. The Decca LP drops that set’s excerpt from Lejaren Hiller and Leonard Isaacson’s Illiac Suite and includes Bicycle Built for Two, sung by the computer in a voice made by John L. Kelly Jr. and Carol Lochbaum.

Includes

Newman Guttman, John L. Kelly, Jr., David Lewin, Carol Lochbaum, Sheridan Dauster Speeth, James Tenney
