   Dropbox is returning a 509 status code on the file, but I can't wait to take a look at this. My interest in this specific machine comes from its important place in the history of computer music with Lejaren Hiller's Illiac Suite:

   Very cool. I have a sense of the punch card era, but this is the first anecdotal write-up of an intermediary period that still relied on paper input that I've seen. Thanks for sharing! I eat up computer history, but it's especiall

   Can you cite any more specific info? I'm very curious. From the demos, the sound externally and direct is pretty much equivalent to the silent brass system I picked up in 1999, but without that huge bulb sticking out of the bell of cou

    I'd be interested to know a little more about the historical context surrounding this piece - was Franklin responding to some well known problem of the time like a rise in the price of candle wax or lamp oil? The essay seems like an attempt

    I wonder if these numbers take into account direct sales to musicians on services like bandcamp. I assume the article mostly (entirely?) refers to publicly reporting music distribution & publishing companies. If so, there's a significan

    I suppose Jitter is a big honking extra option, yeah. :-) I read the original comment as suggesting that SuperCollider was somehow lacking in flexibility compared to Max/MSP, which isn't true. They're all excellent tools with different appr

    Signal flow approaches like Max/MSP and PureData are awesome and have their own strengths and weaknesses - but certainly they have no more or less 'options' or capacity for complexity than any similarly mature text-based DSP system like Sup
