This is the first song ever sung by a computer (1961)

I swear this is the song you hear in the background of scary facts

now the sound is used for horror videos 😭

Stuff is weird

Performed with more soul than what comes out nowadays

>"What are you listening to?" >"You wouldn't get it."

Sensationally creepy

I’m guessing this is why HAL9000 sings Daisy Bell in 2001: A Space Odyssey when he’s taken offline.

That is better than I thought it would be. Didn’t realize computers were that good in 1961. I expected a blank screen and horrible audio.

Blender going back to 1960s is actually insane

Obviously, the graphics are not from 1961.

Thank you @IBM 🎼

In 1961, an IBM 7094 computer at Bell Labs became the first to sing a song, specifically "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)". This historic moment was achieved through early speech and music synthesis techniques developed by John L. Kelly Jr. and Max Mathews. The choice of "Daisy Bell" was due to its simple melody and lyrics, making it suitable for demonstrating the new technology. The performance was later featured in the film "2001: A Space Odyssey".

listening to this before going to sleep was a bad idea i think

Oh damn.

The graphic came later

Sooo this is the origin of that audio 🙃

computer really dropped the OG autotune track 😭 1961 and it already had more soul than half the charts who else lowkey vibing to this?

This makes me feel somehow

@playboicarti sample this & make a classic

AI exist longer than me then

This is slowed down Here is the original

How was a computer able to sing ?

@kovox You sneaky little rabbit

*me watching creepy videos on tiktok*

Evey fuckin time I hear this goddamn song I get the horrors genuinely crawling up to my head.

The foreshadowing is CRAZY, Michael.

BLENDER???

Hal's version was better

@MadestLadd Fun fact: "Daisy" was a codename for the initial development project for VOCALOID itself but they had to change it due to copyright reasons That means IBM 7094 is Hatsune Miku's Grandfather

prove it
