Max Mathews (1926–2011) was an American engineer who wrote MUSIC, the first widely used program for making digital sound, at Bell Labs in 1957. His later work included the GROOVE system and the Radio Baton.
And then with Max Mathews, this was a computer. He developed MUSIC I. This was developed on the IBM 704 computer. But he did it actually at Bell Labs.

That’s another remarkable similarity to early computing, when Max Mathews at Bell Labs made computer music years before the first visual computer art.
