I believe John Chowning discovered FM synthesis (basis of Yamaha DX family) via one of the MUSIC programs, but I don't have a link to the interview on hand. Here's another cultural footprint of MUSIC N though: https://youtube.com/watch?v=H5pKsKgOCbU https://youtube.com/watch?v=H5pKsKgOCbU Got a shoutout from Bonzi Buddy, and some obscure movie I guess.

Here is an article about it: https://120years.net/tag/max-mathews/ https://120years.net/tag/max-mathews/ According to this article, Chowning migrated MUSIC II to PDP-8 and did his discovery on that system. But he also co-created a version of MUSIC IV for PDP-10 called MUSIC 10 in 1969 at Stanford University.

That is an homage to Daisy Bell played on the IBM 7094 in 1961. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41U78QP8nBk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41U78QP8nBk YouTube suggests https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_vDpMz7IZk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_vDpMz7IZk , "Daisy Bell - The Most Infamous Song in Computer History" by Pagan Valley. It gives a few other homages.
