Programmed on the PLATO Color Computer terminal, and video taped by shooting through a sheet of tissue paper taped to the screen, to stop the herringbone interference pattern. The PLATO Monitor had eight colors, a resolution of 320 x 240, and there was no composite video out. This was early 1983 or so, and everything was differet. Camcorders and VHS tape didn't really even exist yet.

Song "A Tale of Two Earmuffs" was recorded at the PLATO C.E.R.L. Computer Music research project on the Interactive Music Synthesizer and is available on the CD "PLATO Computer Music 1986" by Bill Schaeffer. Available at www.cdbaby.com
