Laurie Spiegel Playing 1977 Bell Labs Hal Alles Synth

Concerto for Self-Accompanying Digital Synthesizer. The instrument is possibly the first realtime digital synthesizer, built at Bell Telephone Labs, NJ by Hal Alles and team, with C language software written by Laurie that processes the player's live input into an ongoing accompaniment that will continue to be played live against.

This is a legal copy uploaded by the owner of the original tape. The OHM DVD's video was taken from this.

How many times do I have to post that I'm leaving this copy, corrupted by an encoding error by YouTube, online because I want to preserve the comments but to watch and to hear it YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE REUPLOADED COPY I POSTED AS A VIDEO RESPONSE? There is no reason to be yelling inssults

Yes - this vid does not play. Encoding error is what they told me and that they're retriving it from backup.. Please click on the re-uploaded copy posted as Video Responses (1) here. That one plays ok.
