FIRST PHILADELPHIA COMPUTER MUSIC FESTIVAL LP
Creative Computing 101
w/Creative Computing insert
Rare 70's private pressing by Creative Computing documenting the 1978 Philadelphia Computer Music Festival.
Some info on the release: Privately issued by Creative Computing Magazine to document the 1978 Philadelphia Computer Music Festival (which was part of the Personal Computing '78 convention). The selections showcase the various digital audio technology available at the time, including some obscure synthesizers, featuring the RCA COSMAC, ALF, NOTRAN, Software Technology, Newtech, Solid State, and Schertz computer music systems. The machines "play" a strangely eclectic mix of pop and classical tracks by the Beatles, Scott Joplin, J.S.Bach, Rimsky-korsakov (played backwards!), Neil Diamond, Pachelbel, Johann Wanhal, and others, using mostly early video game-like sounds (think Donkey Kong-era). There's also an archival track by D.H. Van Lenten of Bell Laboratories, 'Synthesized Computer Speech Demonstration,' an excerpt from the Computer Speech ep originally issued in small numbers by Bell Labs in 1963 (Van Lenten was among the first researchers of computer-generated music/speech at Bell Labs along with Max Mathews, John R. Pierce, Newman Guttman, James Tenney, Jean-Claude Risset, etc.). The insert has additional notes about the festival and the magazine (with juicy headings like 'What is computer music?' and 'The personal computer revolution').
Some points of reference for this lp: Paul Beaver, Bernie Krause, Gottfried Michael Koenig, Raymond Scott, Bruce Haack, Pierre Henry, Tomita, Vangelis, Jean-Jacques Perrey, Gershon Kingsley, Robert Moog, Tom Dissevelt, Donald Buchla, Dick Hyman, Paul Lansky, Jon Appleton, Pietro Grossi, Piero Umiliani.

Condition: Vinyl lies in excellent condition, quite close to mint, looks and plays perfectly, while cover looks excellent with slight corner bending.
