Machines Should Work




In 1967, IBM commissioned Jim Henson to produce an industrial/promotional film for their new product, the MT/ST (apparently a precursor to the word processor). Electronic soundtrack provided with assistance from Raymond Scott. (And as one Youtube commenter pointed out, that looks and sounds like Frank Oz making a quick cameo just past the 3:10 mark).

(Thanks to A Sound Awareness.)
