Ooh, very cool! I have his first album (he released two).
Looks like he's presently teaching computer science at UCLA ==>

I'm going to contact him and interview him about this. I'd like to know if
the computer could also select different ranks.
Thanks for the tip, Van.

After more than three years, U of Iowa's
PDP-8 project active again
Years ago, I had a colleague named Prentiss Knowlton who built a
solenoid bank to connect to his PDP-8. He put the solenoid bank on the
keyboard of the 90-rank Schlicker pipe organ in the All Saints
Episcopal Church in Pasadena, CA. It played the music for his wedding.
Later, he published an album of pipe-organ performances, on the same
organ, entitled "Unplayed by Human Hands."

I don't know whether he still has the computer.
