This track was composed over a field recording of a dawn chorus recorded on my Zoom H4n and using my modular synthesiser for the main musical elements.

Ferranti invented the ULA in 1972, claiming that it was the first "to turn the logic array concept into a practical proposition." A ULA allowed a single LSI chip to replace hundreds or even thousands of gates that otherwise would be implemented in a board full of 7400-series TTL chips. The most well-known users of a ULA are the popular Sinclair ZX 81 and ZX Spectrum home computers.3

A ULA was based on a matrix of identical cells that were wired to form the logic gates. Around the edges of the chip, standardized peripheral cells provided the desired I/O capabilities. The cell contains multiple transistors and resistors, which are mostly unconnected by default. The ULA is customized by creating connections between the components to build a set of logic gates.
