Vintage computers jam – musically that is

Modern audio software makes it easier than ever to create beautiful music, but art-monger Pixelh8 took computer music in a different direction altogether last weekend with a performance called Obsolete? at the National Museum of Computing last weekend.

The various pieces performed included contributions from ancient computers such as the IBM 29, Colossus Mk 2 and Sumlock Adding Machine. You can read more about the performance and check out a video of Pixelh8 in action here.
