Thanks Bill. Just ordered a copy from Amazon.
I just picked up "Unplayed by Human Hands" (the first album, from 1975) and
wanted to learn a little more about how it was done. I do know it was a
PDP-8 and Model 33 ASR connected to a pipe organ, and there are bits and
pieces referencing it online.
For instance, I found this project: https://github.com/jawknee/upbhh
But, alas...there doesn't seem to be any snippets of actual code from the
album there.
The code is described in some detail here too:

Again, no actual code. Bummer.
