The world’s oldest known recording of computer-generated music has been restored to its former glory by a team from the British Library. Taken from an acetate cut recording made by the BBC in 1951, the selection of three songs generated by the University of Manchester’s Computing Machine Laboratory’s Ferranti Mark I computer was recently restored with the help of a programming manual written by Alan Turing.
