Figure in a Clearing |
||
|
|
|
The Kim-1 was one of the first small inexpensive "microcomputers" that became available in 1977. In "Figure in a Clearing" the Kim-1 controlled settings of a homemade music synthesizer with triangle wave generators, voltage-controlled amplifiers and frequency modulators. Using a limited number of pitches, David Gibson played slowly-moving cello phrases against the fluctuating rhythms of the Kim-controlled synth. |
