Maybe an earlier ILLIAC?  I vaguely remember hearing that ILLIAC I had been used to make music.

ILLIAC IV was designed at U of I and was originally intended to be located there; they even built a high-security building for it (CAC).  But in the end DoD didn't like all those unruly students so they installed at at Ames instead.  The building ended up being used for an ARPAnet node instead.
