All The Sounds In This Album Were Generated By The MCS70 A Monophonic Analog Synthesizer Designed Built And Programmed By The Italian Engineer Mario Maggi . Automat Was Musumarra's Initiative After Learning About The New Instrument He Proposed To EMI Italy The Production Of An Album Of Electronic Instrumental Music.
