Talk:Computer music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Might a link to CDCM be relevant, or would they be considered commercial? I've got a few other ideas for additions to really flesh this page out some, but I'll have to work on it some time later. --Morbid-o 17:27, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 1st computer music
I thoght that the first computer music was by Max Matthews in Australia, and it was a rendition of 'Daisy (Bicycle built for two)' --Morbid-o 20:26, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Reviving wikiproject
I'd like to revive the wikiproject on computer music. If you want to help out, let me know (email, post on my talk page, etc).

I think fleshing out the page would be a good idea--I have added most of the information to it, lamentably its seems rather 'thrown together.' It would be good to keep any superfluous information off the article, and instead just use it as a starting off point, or information repository. Adding commercial entities to it could be distracting?
On the Max Matthews thing--I did not author that section---so I am willing to research and find out.
[edit] More on Computer Music
The first piece for computer was called "In the Silver Scale," which lasts 17 seconds and was composed by Audiologist Newman Gutman. For more information about computer music I suggest that you watch the video "Music Meets the Computer," hosted by Max Mathews and John Chowning. To find it you can simply do a google video search or go here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7185099725785108063&q=Music+Meets+the+Computer&hl=en
Unfortunately, the video's sound cuts out after just over an hour but it should be a big help anyhow.

[edit] First piece at Bell Labs
"In the Silver Scale" was indeed the first piece at Bell Labs, and a link to the video somewhere in the resources would be a good idea. It appears NOT to be the first piece played by a computer, which was done by CSIRAC some 6 or 7 years earlier.
