...don't tell me you're an octogenarian...

That was for your guys benefit.. I was an 80's kid.

I gathered as much - but I couldn't resist turning the tables on you! So you and I are pretty much the same vintage, then.

I've been loosely trying to guess people's age while listening to entries here, but mostly I have no idea whether I'm in the ballpark or not.

First computer, an Apple ][ clone, first synth Poly 800 followed by a DX-7. First music programs I wrote myself in Turbo Pascal, the clone had a Z-80 card on its mother board. Now guess my birth date...

My first computer was a Timex Sinclair 1000 in 1982. I did not make music on it. First music computer - Mac Plus with midiPaint and Jambox. Changed my world.....

The first computer used in anger was an ICl 4130 in the late 60's. Interestingly the operator console had a small loudspeaker which made noises it picked up from the "cpu". Basically, the operatoras could tell what it was doing as each operation had specfic noises - also worked for "fault diagnosis"!!! Of course, you could run programs which would "play" tunes!!!! I first did "real" electronic music on a pdp-11/40 , running RT-11 (aka rat11!). Also played with RSX-11M and RSX-11D, RSTS/E and TSX-Plus (smart time sharing executive for RT-11, we build our own systems using the LSI-11 boards!)

Makes me an oldie I guess!

... I started making digital music in the early '90s, so these sounds are very familiar ...

So, a youngster then! Late 60's for me ... EMS, home built stuff, reel-to-reel tape, splicing etc ...

I must be! To be 100% acurate, I did code Axel F and Crockett's Theme with POKE commands and such on Commodore 64 in the mid-1980s, at the tender age of 15.

It's a rite of passage for us 80s kids to cover Crockett's Theme at some point.

[Edit #2, Apr 30: This IS my final submission after all - and that's my final word!! ]

[Edit: Not my final submission after all. Sorry, I have to ditch this one. It's simply too silly, isn't it? New submission in the works!]

OTT with OPL! I guess Friday the 13th is as good a day as any – here's my submission for OSC 110.

I continue the line of experimental tracks. For some reason, I am inspired by very limited minimalistic synthesizers. JuceOPLVSTi is awesome synth:)

So that means you're either a distinguished gentleman from the days of the minicomputer, or an intolerable late '90s hipster insisting that mini is more soulful than micro.

Love this, asi4! Now I regret not going in a minimalistic direction as well. Oh, well - between our two tracks, I'd say diversity is ensured!

Was more of a macro-11 man myself. Previous to the "11"'s. programmed HP minis (4k core memory) using assembler and papertape! Did lots of Fortran too on the 11's, but mainly linked with assembler stuff (via R5 register stack!) to do real time things (in and out!). Before the HP's, it was Algol-60 on the 4130. Wrote a 5-way, 2 random variable, ANOVA!

Drummer lost his sticks and had to make do with a set of hair brushes! Brass section was late arriving, as usual! Instruments were cold and sounded awful, got told to shut up for the last two rounds of the 12-bar! Bassist was just so cool, hardly flinching, even smiled once! Keyboard player was the coolest dude on the block, but we didn't let on that we thought so too!

Upon repeated listening, I had to edit my post and ditch my original entry. Too silly, and frankly a bit of a hotchpotch. Posting on Friday the 13th wasn't such a good idea, after all. But I've got a new one in the works - almost finished!
