Tracks two and three feature the voice of an unknown instructor from an IBM 1401 Data Processing System maintenance instruction tape found in my fathers attic.

All electronic sounds were derived from the IBM 1401 Data Processing System and the Hammond B3 organ with Ring Modulator, Distortion and Filter pedals. The music and sounds of the IBM 1401 Data Processing System were recorded by Jóhann Gunnarsson, Örn Kaldalóns and Elías Davídsson in Reykjavik in 1971. The musical fragment played by the computer is from the hymn Ísland Ögrum Skorid by Sigvaldi Kaldalóns, used by kind permission.
