Computer-animated Rutt/Etra synthesizer video

I had to post this. Benton and Bill have told me Abstractions on a Bedsheet was the first time someone (Bill) used a computer to animate the Rutt/Etra synthesizer. The computer, a PDP-11, generated control voltages to, er, control the parameters of the R/E. Bill stayed up all night programming it.

    Cool video – it’s a crazy machine indeed (Rutt/Etra). crazier to think he did this utilizing a PDP-11. I’ve not seen Bill in quite some time now – I wonder how he’s been doing of late? We only met at UnityGain events…
