The Band

Mac Classic II:

The workhorse of the band. Peter and Josh used this Mac, on loan from the elementary where we work, to do the brunt of the programming and recording of this album. The 68030 processor was the minimum under which HyperCard 2.4.1 liked to run. Peter recorded a ton of sounds, mostly acoustic instruments, into this Mac using SoundEdit and an external Apple microphone that plugged into the sound-in port on the Classic II.

Color Classic:

This brute took over when the Classic II’s sound started acting flaky. The color monitor was beginning to wear out. The sound from this chestnut, however, was perfect and strong even from the built-in speaker. Meg’s Mac from college.

Centris 610

The server. AppleShare File Server 3.0.3. Played a little too fast because its processor was faster than the others’.

This is a sticker that came with the album. It was also the cover of the CD, in a slightly modified form.

Video

During a recording session in which we were experimenting with the Macs performing pieces live, we took a short video of the Macs making music.

A few years after the album was made, Peter made a music video for “Sound Off On”.
