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.

Congrats Bob,

Not surprising though, you are a man of many talents and we all appreciate that you do!

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.

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

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