I am more interested in some of the more oddball
releases from the
1970s, like Roger Powell's Air Pocket, which credits an Altair system
on the album. By early to mid 1980s, plenty of artists were using
microcomputers for sequencing, so by then, they were a fairly
established studio tool.
One of the Steely Dan albums (Gaucho, I think) credits a Tandy Model 100
IIRC. If you're interested, I'll try to dig up the liner notes.
There were
demos and hacks for the 1541 drive playing music by
knocking its heads - that might not be too hard to find. I think
something for the Amiga and its drives existed as well.
Very interested in those as well, as I figure doing the same with 14
inch drives is unrealistic.
