In 1961, an IBM 7094 computer at Bell Labs sang "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)," making it the first song ever sung by a computer. The performance was created by John L. Kelly Jr. and Max Mathews using early speech and music synthesis. "Daisy Bell" was chosen for its simple melody and lyrics. The event inspired Arthur C. Clarke, who included the song in 2001: A Space Odyssey, sung by the HAL 9000 computer. Ht Stcatherinesguy on threads | Flashbak
