Free new song by The Crystalline Effect for Ada Lovelace Day
March 25th is Ada Lovelace Day. We are currently working on the 3rd full-length album for The Crystalline Effect and have just written a song about Ada Lovelace. When we found out that it was Ada Lovelace day, it felt like more than a coincidence. So to celebrate the occasion we have decided to upload our song as a free download!
From singer/lyricist Elenor Rayner:
"In the mid 1800s Charles Babbage invented the first programmable calculating machine, called the Analytical Engine. He could see it could be used to make mathematical calculations. A useful device indeed, and it became the forerunner of the computer.
His good friend Ada Lovelace, also a mathematician and scientist and daughter of the poet Lord Byron, understood his machine - but she could see something he couldn't. She suggested to Charles that his Analytical Engine could be used to compose complex music and so she wrote a program for it and became the first person ever to write music on a computer.
I think all of us owe her big time.
I have a framed photo of Ada sitting next to my computer and when I heard the electro leanings of a new track Pete had sent me for TCE, I thought it would be a perfect homage to her. I loved recording those vocals with her watching me."
