First Philadelphia Computer Music Festival

Above: Computer Music '79!

Here's a cool record of the 1978 First Philadelphia Computer Music Festival, featuring mp3s you can download of various
composers, playing on obscure synths like the RCA Cosmac, ALF, SSM, or NOTRAN. This record is a surprisingly late issue of traditional academic electronic music (think Columbia-Princeton). It is weird to hear old chestunts like the Mexican Hat Dance played on synths several years after Kraftwerk had written Autobahn and Cabaret Voltaire were unleashing electronic squalls in Sheffield. Anyway, a great find and a generous post.
