Sean Meng-Looking Outwards-10

For this week’s looking outwards, I researched The Commodore 64, which is an 8-bit home computer introduced in January 1982 by Commodore International. The computer is evolutionary as it features a programming music function. The computer stores a certain track of sound and computerized it into its memory. By labeling and storing the music file, user can mix different tracks and mix them with different pace and the same time to compose music. The project is in 1984 and it opens up the possibility of the intersection between computer and music. And it also changes people’s perspective of music composition from a traditional method.
