39968_l

And War Itself is an early attempt at musique concrète
This was recorded/performed in 1983 and I used reel-to-reel, cassette tape, LP records and a HP-85 with 16k of ram, custom HP 8bit CPU @ 0.613MHz, running a BASIC program I made, recorded at the lab at work.

Probably most notable for being so old and crude.
And perhaps the nuclear explosion towards the end.
