a feather in my cap

Fixture Records has re-issued a cassette of computer music that I made in 1991. It's very strange music - I doubt that many here will like it - but it's been rewarding to see someone take an interest after all these years.

Fascinating. You're a talented guy, b0b - but hey, we knew that. Congrats on the reissue.

Pretty wild stuff, b0b.
And wow... an Atari 1040ST and a Roland U110.
That's so 20th Century...

I shouldn't laugh...I had both. Still do, actually.
The ST is still the only computer that I know of that came with built-in MIDI.
Not to mention a whopping 1MG of RAM.

Very cool,
I used to do diddies with my Commodore 64 but it wasn't this good.

bÃ˜b- wrote algorithmic bots that functioned as musicians

May I ask, what does this mean?

Each "musician" was a separate process in the computer.

Very cool stuff Bob. The Psx4 groove reminds me of Medeski, Martin & Wood's music.

Really cool stuff, I bet it was a lot of fun to set those little guys loose and hear what was coming out.
