A brief live improvisation I recorded using the first voice patch I managed to program into the 1979 Crumar GDS shortly after I undertook the major restoration (previously owned by the late Klaus Schulze) of this extremely rare groundbreaking early digital synthesizer.   It is named in memory of the late Max Mathews who played a major role in developing the software routines and concepts behind key parts of the GDS as well as in many other areas of pioneering computer based music technology.

Numbers station are unidentified shortwave radio stations that broadcasts of formatted numbers on irregular interval, thought to be intended for intelligence services. They have been reported since at least the start of World War I and continue to be in use today. Their messages remain undecoded and the significance of the broadcasts is unknown.
