"Herääminen (meaning "awakening") reimagines this recording of the Elliott 903 Boot Sequence from the TNMOC Imitation Archive from the perspective of this early computer era data processing machine (interactive input/output was normally handled by an attached teletype machine) moving from this initial awakening sequence through evolution to modern computer age advanced artificial intelligence and the advent of awakenings of a computer based consciousness that we may see in our lifetime.
"The original recording is played in its entirety, slightly processed for clarify, first played forwards and then in reverse and placed using a background of an undulating drone soundscape."
This is part of the Obsolete Sounds project, the world’s biggest collection of disappearing sounds and sounds that have become extinct – remixed and reimagined to create a brand new form of listening. Explore the whole project at https://citiesandmemory.com/obsolete-sounds
