Artist’s description:
Music Concrete
This was recorded/performed in 1983
I used reel-to-reel and cassette and LP records and a HP-85 with 16k of ram, custom HP 8bit CPU @ 0.613MHz, running a BASIC program I made, recorded at the lab at work.

Probably most noteable for being so old and crude.
And perhaps the nuclear explosion towards the end.

Contributors:
Hewlett-Packard who unwittingly placed a reasonable sound interface on a scientific personal computer that was -supposed- to be acquiring data from a gas chromatograph.

Various effects records and a JFK speech.

Inspiration:
nuclear annihilation
