FULL SCREEN

Jaron Lanier’s 1983 Commodore 64 game is widely regarded as the first generative music game, with a soundtrack created through playing the game. It was presented in The Garden of Forking Paths with permission, using a plug-and-play exhibition cartridge on an original Commodore 64 computer with a television screen.
