Things go all electro-mechanical on this week’s show dear listener with music made by dot matrix printers, floppy disk drives, a jazzolian, an enormous music box, a player piano a polyphon, an orchestrion and a trio of robots to mention but a few.
We also have a track from a great new compilation of electronic library music from the Standard library music label, lovingly curated by Public Information records.
