@tyson31415 That's absolutely false. The fist computer music was CISR Mark 1 in 1951, and the second was the Machester Mark 1 playing a few difference songs of which we still have existing recordings. Bell labs developed a musical computer language and Beat Cannon by John Robinson Pierce was released in 1960... all of these predate your claim by 10-20 years. Peter Zinovieff composed January Tensions on a PDP-8 one of the first private individuals to buy a computer and produce music also predating your claim by several years. The technique you describe was almost certainly discovered on mini computers or the like in the 60s (larger computers probably would have buses that would be TOO noisy). The IBM 1401 at a bare minimum is documented to have played AM radio music via BUS EMI... and that was in operation from 1964-1971.... the fact is this was probably common knowledge even longer than that as everybody had AM radios, and computers with lots of bus EMI had been around since the 50s....
