Brian Eno’s Floppy Disk Album “Generative Music 1”
In 1996 Brian Eno created Generative Music 1, an album distributed on 3.5″ floppy disk that ran on Windows 3.11. Now you can listen to a version of it without tracking down the requisite PC and rare disk!
The album was different every time you listened to it as it was generated in code from Tim and Pete Cole’s SSEYO Koan Pro music software and played through a Creative Labs AWE32 or SB32 sound card or a TDK MusicCard.
If you’re inspired to create your own generative music, the Koan software has evolved into Wotja and is available for free on most platforms.
