In 1976, David Behrman used a Kim-1, the first of the small, affordable microcomputers that began to appear in the market, to compose On the Other Ocean. In a performance, the Kim-1 'listened to' a flute and bassoon and generated sounds. In his words "The relationship between the two musicians and the computer is an interactive one, with the computer changing the electronically produced harmonies in response to what the musicians play, and the musicians being influenced in their improvisation by what the computer does."
