Clarke, who was visiting a friend who worked there. In 1962, it sang "Daisy Bell" to science fiction author Arthur C. In this video, he just got his hands on the ultra-rare Electronic Voice Alert (EVA) from early. For several years afterwards, the singing mainframe was shown off as a party trick for visitors to the facility. David Viens collects voice synthesizers and their ROMs. Earlier speech synthesisers such as the vocoder and VODER (Both also developed at Bell Labs) were occasionally used to perform songs, but these machines were manually controlled using a foot-pedal and dual-keyboard arrangement that took months of practice to master. These experiments were spin-offs from broader research into speech synthesis that Kelly and Lochbaum (along with many others) had been carrying out at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey, USA. The details of the software they wrote to perform the song – known as the Kelly-Lochbaum Vocal Tract – were published in an academic journal in 1962. The song was set to a synthesized backing track put together by electronic music researcher Max Mathews. In 1960, American computer scientists Carol Lochbaum and John Kelly programmed an IBM 704 mainframe to sing the vaudeville-era popular song "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)".
