1401's ran about $2500.00 u.s.d. a month to rent in 1950's money. This is most interesting soothing & haunting. I have just recently become familiar w/ the project. Thanks for posting.

The IBM 1401 was an mainframe computer back in the 60's. It was this huge beast of a machine that had a small flaw in which it leaked electromagnetic radiation in a frequency that AM radios could pick up. It didn't take long for the geeks of the day to figure out how to make music out of it! That wierd instrument you hear at the start that sounds kinda like a claironet but isn't... that the 1401!

Another music video director trying to be too artistic for his own good i.e being sucky. Really nice music though

I think the images go well with the music's author stated motiffs: óhannsson aims to explore the relationship between the computer and his homeland, playing an old Icelandic hymn his father managed to coax out of the 1401, and is keen to find human qualities inside even the most arcane systems.
