IBM 1401, A User’s Manual

Album by Jóhann Jóhannsson

IBM 1401, A User’s Manual is a studio album by Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, released in 2006. Musically, the album is a blend of ambient and modern classical elements, with strings and choral textures alongside processed electronics and recordings of early computer hardware, and it was an early full-length work that shifted his focus towards larger orchestral and electronic projects.
