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.
